Although most people tolerate this
antidepressant well, it is possible to develop side effects while taking nortriptyline. Side effects of the drug may include dizziness, drowsiness, and confusion, among others. If you suddenly stop taking this antidepressant, you may experience withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea,
headaches, and a general ill feeling.
In most cases, side effects are minor and either do not require treatment or are treated easily by you or your healthcare provider. However, there are a number of potentially serious side effects that require immediate medical attention. Notify your healthcare provider right away if you experience difficulty breathing,
seizures, or hallucinations.
