I take Pamelor along with Neurontin and Flexeril for my pain, since I started taking Pamelor I sleep better and I have been having lower BS levels. It's been working for me!

I am taking this medication for fybromyalgia pain, and for associated sleep problems. Over about a year, I worked up to 40mg a day (taken at night). I've now started to take 50mg a day. Early on, last year, I had dry mouth and was sleepy. Constipation has been an ongoing issue, but is easily addressed with a daily dose of fiber supplements. I think there's been some impact on my weight, but not terrible. The more serious side effect was that at the very beginning, the med made me feel more depressed, sometimes even somewhat suicidal, but I decided to stick it out for a while, and I'm glad I did, because the side-effects subsided after about a 4-6 weeks. The very big upside is that my pain was significantly diminished, and my sleep got much better (I hadn't had a decent night's sleep in 5 years without Ambien, and I do react well to sleeping meds). I still sometimes get headaches from neck pain, but my MD suggested an Ativan (Lorazepam), which I take occasionally, and which usually helps. Over time the Pamelor also had a positive effect on my feelings of depression, and my fibro-related fogginess lifted quite a bit. I have had some recent resurgence in pain, so my GP suggested that extra 10mg a day to go up to 50mg (something my neurologist had recommended many months ago). I started in the past week, and am noticing renewed side-effects--the dry mouth (and bad taste in my mouth) is back, I'm sleeping long, long hours (12-14), and the constipation is worse. BUT I'm hoping that, since these eventually eased before, they will again. Overall so far, I think Nortiptyline (generic Pamelor) has been a very successful treatment for me.
