Hi countrybumpkin
I was prescribed the Nortriptyline when I was first ill in 2010, but was diagnosied with ms menopause parathyroid ( had op) all at the same time, they were meant to be for the tension heads I was getting at the time, they went but to be honest I had so much going on that it could have been caused by meno so I may not even need them now, my worry is that they could be covering up other ms symptoms, which I know last time I had evidence of nerve damage once I'd reduced them to 50mg which I'm currently taking now but they wernt too painful just ****ly when hand was lightly touched or brushed against something,what I dread is a symptom of Tinitus returning in my ear,this happened last time I got down to 50mg too and I upped the dose again by 5ml and it went,but both of these are listed as side effects of the medication,so Im not sure what's causing what. I don't know if either of these things are permanent or if they will come or go,but I couldn't stant having the Tinitus permenantly as it was having something alien in side my head, I think it takes 2 weeks for each dose reduction to leave your body so I shall know soon this week I think, keep your fingers crossed for me,I hope I can come off these pills as don't want to stay on them forever! How are you?
