Anyone been prescribed Nortriptyline, side effects?

[DanielaDressen]

GP has suggested I try this for chronic pain. I wouldn’t particularly say I have nerve pain. It’s more muscular and bone pain but he says it can help with that type of pain. I’m mainly concerned about weight gain as it says 1 in 10 people gain weight on it. Anyone had this and gained or not gained weight?

I get that 9 in 10 people might not gain weight but I really struggle with weight so am not confident I’d be unaffected!

I had this for nerve pain. It did not make me hungry or gain weight, but it did make me sleepy. To the point I really struggled to get out of bed.

oh Dear, years ago I tried amyltriptelene and it made me so sleepy I had to stop, but the gp reckoned this version wasn’t that bad!
