I think you are only causing yourself extra side-effects with no appreciable antidepressant gain by taking only 25 mg of nortriptyline. The therapeutic dose window is about 25 mg 3-4 times daily to a max of 150 mg/ day.

I wish you could substitute venlafaxine for Elavil, but you probably have already tried that.

> I am currently taking 25 mg. nortriptyline in the a.m. and 60 mg. elavil at night. Is it worth it to keep taking the nortrip. as I have read the there is a small "window" for the effectiveness.
