Nortriptyline
"I tried 2 medications for pain from a pinched nerve and neither worked so the doctor placed me on Nortriptyline starting off with 10 mg and titrating up to 40 mg due to increased pain.  I am now titrating down as my pain has lessened due to acupuncture, aqua jogging, physical therapy.

Side effects for me have been extremely dry mouth, blurry vision, skin darkening on my face (cheeks) and memory/focus problems, some hair loss.

I want off of this as soon as possible due to the side effects but it has been very effective for the pain relief.

I hope the side effects goes away quickly and I regrow my hair.

Can't remember cost of drug but most likely inexpensive as I have Kaiser."
