> My doctor says he sees a dramatic difference in his patients' responses to nortriptyline depending on which company manufactured it. He always gives each patient a sequential trial of several different manufacturers to find the right one. One may be anxiety provoking, one may be all dirty side effects and nothing else, one may be neutral, and one may be a huge winner. He has seen it so many times that it is now standard procedure with him whenever he prescribes nortriptyline to run through a series of them. He says prescribing nortriptyline is like opening a can of worms, but that the results of methodical detective work are usually quite rewarding with the right version of that drug.

They know how to make a good generic. I used Pamelor years ago which was execellent and Teva is the bomb. For me had a robust ad effect at 50 mg. Smooth and no anxiety and took the whole thing at night to sleep like a baby.
