Does Anyone Take Nortriptylin For Fibromyalgia And Is So Do You Have Bad Dreams?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Harleyville, SC

I've been on Nortriptylin now for about a month in a half and every time I take it at night... it gives me horrible dreams.. My primary doctor prescribed it for me until I can see a Rheumatologist.

Heard this is common. It's not a negative thing though if you can deal with it and get some sleep. The dreams I think have to do with higher activity in certain parts of the brain on the medication during REM sleep or something like that.

Ty for sharing . The burning just comes on. Doesn't matter what I'm doing or not doing.

I just started Flexeril again. Hadn't taken it in a few years. Dr gives it to me for my back spasms.

Does anyone get a burning sensation in the middle of the back and cramps or catches in the ribs in back. I had a bone spur in the middle of my back almost 13years ago which left me parolized until they did surgery. Burning use to happen once in a while . Now it's more often. God bless and gentle hugs to you all.
