Nortriptyline side effects

Hello friends. I have been taking nortriptyline for migraine headaches for about 2 weeks now, on the advice of my doctor. And now I have symptoms like severe dizziness after 2 weeks of taking the medication. I would be happy to know your experiences with this medication.

  1. Hi there. Sorry you're going through this, dizziness is awful! I am not an expert so I can't give medical advice. However, from what I've seen, dizziness is a common side effect of nortriptyline. It may get better as you adjust to the medication, but regardless, you should definitely let your doctor know this is going on so that they can make any changes if needed. I hope you feel better soon and that it does end up helping for your migraines! -Melissa, team member
