I started on Ami and it made me so tired that I struggled to function during the day. I also found that I was very teary whilst on it, but in it’s defense, that was in the early stages of this illness, so I was in a really bad place and feeling very anxious about my symptoms.
I then went onto Nort and have found it tolerable. I am now up to 60mg a day and I get most of the side effects including dry mouth, dry eyes, constipation, blurred vision and vivid dreams. I also had shaky hands, but this side effect subsided after a while.
I am getting to the point where I need to change my meds and the next one for me is propranolol. I did try tapering the nort down, but I had some bad side effects. I am just going to have to bite the bullet I think as whilst I feel that the nort does help with the headaches, it does not stop the dizziness or the eye pain and visual issues that I have.
All the best to you. I know of many people who have had success on both of these, so they are certainly worth a try
