Nortriptyline HLC...
 

I was wondering if anyone else has ever been prescribed Nortriptyline HLC?
My neurologist prescribed it after I mentioned my headaches feeling like they were in the middle of my brain. (I also have the cerebral shrinking going on.)
After a month of taking it I noticed not only my headaches decreasing but I'm starting to have dreams again. I was just wondering if anyone else experienced this....:confused:

Hey Jimbo,
I am still trying to figure out how to use this site. Thaks so much for requesting the friendship. It will be so nice to know someone going through the sam e thing as my daughter. She has been referred to Mtn Neurology here in Asheville, Dr. Jones. Do you mind sharing who your neurologist is? I really want to provide the best care for my daughter. She is a senior this year, has always been at the top of her class but I worry with the RSD....

jimbo,


I don''t dream anymore either, I wonder what the connection between RSD and not dreaming is. Prior to my injury I was a great sleeper and had dreams all the time, and up to a year ago I still was dreaming. My sleep is terrible since the RSD, but actually that is getting better recently. If you have any information on the subject I would love to hear it.

So far what I gather is that RSD keeps us from the deep sleep, for lack of a better wording,"dream zone" whether it be from pain or nerve activity.
Now that I'm noticing the change with this new med I'm beginning to reach out for some answers. Sad to say that my interest out weighs my information at this point but my curiosity is sure sparked...

REM sleep--

I think I can remember dreaming about two times since I was injured last December. I used to dream all the time. I was finally put on Silenor recently (my two dreams:)). It's supposed to help you fall back to sleep easier when you wake up throughout the night.

Funny, my wife's doctor just prescribed her Silenor yesterday. :)

All this talk of dreaming I had a dream 2 nights ago. It was strange, I live in the Northeast and we got hit with 10inches of snow, lost power for 2 days and had to go to a hotel. But I tell you I have can't remember the last time I had a dream and this was so vivid. Strange.
