This has quelled my severe headaches. Before, they immobilized me, and I was in so much pain. Now, I haven’t had symptoms since a few weeks after I started taking this. It does have the dry mouth side effect, which is annoying, but better than the pounding migraine

This medication is poison. I suffered from insomnia, fear and depression. Coming off was 10 days of misery. Don’t take it!!!!

I've been battling arthritis in my shoulder/clavical. 9 of 10 on the pain scale. Five years and 15 doctors later I had a pain specialist prescribe 25mg 1/day Nortriptyline along with 200mg Gabapentin. Only the 2 meds together relieve my pain. Neither help alone.

I am a male with two crushed discs in my back. I was prescribed this drug as an alternative to opiate pain medication twice in the last 10 years. Not only was this drug not effective for that use, but both times I experienced severe sexual dysfunction within the first month of use. Both times I had to stop use of the drug.

Not only was this drug not effective for that use, but both times I experienced severe sexual dysfunction within the first month of use. Both times I had to stop use of the drug. I recovered sexual function after the first use 10 years ago, but after the second use within the last year I have never recovered from the sexual dysfunction. All males should be made aware of this possible side effect by their Doctors. Sadly in my case neither of my providers did so.

I was given this medication to help with nerve pain in the leg and especially knee pain by a pain specialist Dr. It worked to control the pain but only if I do my exercises daily.

Trying to stay at 10 mg at night. After 2 1/2 months I have moderate to severe joint pain in both shoulders. Started to have pain in my ribs and side if I sleep on my left side. I have some weight gain, started to get headaches and urinating a lot. Am very sensitive to drugs. Will be seeing the Dr to figure out what to do. The medicine is working but I hope to get off of it soo
