People with
depression -- also called major depression or clinical depression -- may be prescribed
nortriptyline hydrochloride (HCl). This medicine, sold under the brand name
Pamelor®, is available in capsules or as a liquid, and is taken anywhere from one to four times a day.
Your healthcare provider will consider several different factors when determining the right nortriptyline hydrochloride dosage for you, such as your medical history and if you are currently taking any other medicines (this includes nonprescription products and supplements). Age is also a factor, as teenagers and the elderly need to take a lower dosage than is usually prescribed for adults.
