Iāve had no side effects so far on the nortriptyline and my neurologist has been reassuring saying I need to persist with it and it will eventually start to make a difference.
I have dizziness and migraine / daily pressure headaches. I was diagnosed with a migraine variant balance disorder.
Hi Lucy
Thank you for your reassuring wordsā¦how long have you been on nortripalyne for? Iām only on day 5 @ 10 mgā¦Friday it goes up to 20 mg an a week later 30 mg an stays there

Good luck.
