Sorry i know this is personal but nortriptyline is causing me a lot of problems in the bedroom 
Is anyone else having any trouble?
Are you a guy?
It hasnāt affected me that way but then as a female I suppose it wouldnātā¦I am assuming this would more affect the males???..
Seemed to affect me. I seem to have gotten used to it, though.
same hereā¦ no desire anymore :roll:
Yeah, I took it for 9 months. It definitely has some sexual side effects. I think a lot of anti-depressants do unfortunately.
jamie when did you stop the topamax? how are you feeling off of it? are you trying anything else?
Sarah, I am still using Topamax. I stopped taking Nortriptyline a long time ago.
I am hopeful that Iāll be able to get off the Topamax, and Iām doing quite well on it at the moment, but I havenāt been at a point where I felt I could risk coming off of it to āsee what happensā so to speak.
oops I mixed up the meds- how long have you been on topamax? has it helped you pretty consistently the whole time you have been on it? Do you have any balance/walking issues and has it helped with that?
Iāve been on the topamax for about a year and yes it has helped me greatly with imbalance issues. My issues were mostly MDDS-style rocking that seemed to be brought on by migraines. The topamax definitely helped suppress both the rocking and the migraines, though I have to work to avoid other migraine triggers, which for me seem to be mainly intense anger, lack of sleep, and flat-screen monitor PWM flicker which Iāve talked aobut in other posts.
If I avoid those 3 things I seem to do really well. I donāt know how well I would do if I went off the topamax.
yes it affects me slightly. My Dr said itās common
Boy, thatās a lot of āMe too.ā
Perhaps the subject line should have been, āNortriptaline OR sexā
