Hey Spinning Girl, I’m glad you’re feeling great off nortriptyline! Thanks so much for the feedback and the advice. I too have dietary triggers, I think, but I need to be better about keeping a food diary. It seems that chocolate is one of them though along with citrus. MSG is bad news and it’s hidden in a lot of things, it seems, listed only as “natural flavors.” I’m trying topamax out for a few months - sticking with it this time at 50mg for four months at least - to see if it works for me. It seems to help. If not, I will go higher on nortriptyline perhaps. I’ll definitely check out your blog. Thanks again. Happy New Year! Liv xx
