I take 20mg Nortriptyline at bedtime for chronic pain. I can tolerate it much better than 5mg of amitriptyline, which totally knocked me out all day, but I still crash in the afternoons. I'm not sure if it's the nortriptyline or hypofunctioning adrenals and poor sleep, as I suspect.
I have a couple of questions regarding nortriptyline, though. How much SSRI effect does it have and what might it do to your sleep cycle?
