My main concern here is the possibility of developing intractable sedation with Nortriptyline.

>Hi Bob,
Ive been taking the nortrip. for a couple weeks now. So far so good. I basically swapped it for my remeron and have been taking it at night - 50mg.
The last thing I'm concerned about is sedation. Actually, I am having trouble falling to sleep and do not feel the least bit tired in the a.m.
I'm still taking zoloft 50mg. and klonopin 0.5mg/bid.
I see my pdoc next week so I'm hoping my sleep improves by then. I need at least 7-8 hrs of quality sleep or my life is pure hell. So, since starting nortrip. I've been averaging 6-7 hrs a night. Remeron was much better for me with no sedation in the a.m. so I may be starting on it again.
Yes, everyone certainly reacts different to meds. I was hoping the nortriptyline would be more sedating...just the opposite "for me".
I will probably try taking it in the morning when I take my zoloft or noon at the latest.Regards, Rick
