Nortriptyline hydrochloride (
Pamelor®) is a prescription drug commonly used for treating
depression. Most people appear to respond well to nortriptyline, but there are some negative effects that you should be aware of before starting treatment. For example, a number of side effects have been reported with this medication. Some of the most common problems that have been seen in people using this
antidepressant include dizziness, drowsiness, and confusion.
As with other antidepressants, nortriptyline can increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior. Therefore, you should talk to your healthcare provider immediately if you notice any changes in symptoms or new symptoms, such as hostility, panic, or
anxiety. Nortriptyline may also affect a person's mental or physical ability, increase the risk of
seizures, and interact with many medications.
