Thoughts On Nortriptyline?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Just finished weaning of Gabapentin as it did nothing for my pain and just made me severely hungry all the time. Going to have a weeks break and then begin Nortriptyline. Does anyone else use this and how you finding it?

I have tried Nortriptyline and it made me feel so drowsy I couldn’t function! Amitriptyline has the same effect on me!
