Default Nortriptyline

Hi All,

I had another doc appt. I was happy with the outcome. I have seen progress and the doc thinks that over the next couple of weeks with the drugs ive been prescibed I may be competely symtom free.

Ok so Ive been prescribed
-propranolol 80 mg per day
-Nortriptyline 10 mg at night to promote restfull sleep.

Thoughts on these would be hugely appreciated!!!!



6 months pcs symptoms, symtoms left anxiety and headaches.

I use propanolol on an as needed basis. If you blood pressure is high, it will help with head aches and some other symptoms. 80 mgs seems a bit high but you may need it. Do you have a home blood pressure kit ? Knowing your blood pressure when you are most symptomatic is helpful. I use it when my blood pressure spikes and I can not get it down by other methods. My skills at relaxing usually work. I have not needed it for quite some time. When I did, it was a lifesaver.

The Nortriptyline is a common med for PCS, depression and insomnia.

I hope they work for you.

My best to you.
