I went to the Dr. with severe foot pain. Dr. put me on 50mg a night 3 years ago and it has worked miracles. I was surprised when I read that this med was used to treat depression..

I have been taking this med (40mg daily) for 4 years now to treat stomach/gastro pain after surgery damaged my vega nerve, and it has been a blessing.

I have been taking this med (40mg daily) for 4 years now to treat stomach/gastro pain after surgery damaged my vega nerve, and it has been a blessing. My life was pure misery before due to severe pain after every meal. I lost weight, couldn't sleep. This med began working for me within a couple of days and I'm grateful for it. But there are negatives, as well: chronic constipation, dry mouth, foggy thinking at times. Also, I learned early on to take the med at least 2-3 hours before bed to avoid nightmares. But I deal with those negatives because the alternative is too awful. Best of luck to everyone struggling with NP.

Taking 10mg nightly for longstanding gastric pain that does not respond to proton pump inhibitors all the time. Within 4 days of starting was finally able to sleep more than 2-3h per night. Recently experiencing agitation, raised heart rate, nightmares and panic attacks. Will be ceasing medication. Hope the effects last after stopping.

I went from Amitriptyline to nortriptyline due to seizures. Amitriptyline worked for my nerve pain, but caused me seizures. Nortriptyline didn't do anything for my nerve pain. I got worse all over again
