[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 156803, member: 2423"] Hi Heather, I take Nortriptyline for stress relief, migraine prevention, IBS symptoms and sleep. I started at 10 mg in late fall and over a couple of months increased to 30 mg. I'm definitely less stressed, my IBS symptoms have improved and I'm sleeping great (I used to wake up at 3 am and not be able to go back to sleep). But my migraines are still very much there. My neuro told me the migraine dose is between 30 mg and 80 mg so I'm still on the low end, but I'm starting to gain weight (unfortunately, one of the side effects of tricyclics is weight gain) and don't want to go higher. I go back to my neuro on July 1 so I'll see what she wants to do at that point. She had mentioned a trial of Topamax for the migraines so maybe she will add that in. I hope Nortriptyline helps you the way it's helped me. I'm glad you had a good visit with your doctor -- she sounds like a keeper. [/QUOTE]
