Pamelor® (nortriptyline hydrochloride) is a prescription medication approved to treat symptoms of depression. The drug works by allowing certain brain chemicals (serotonin and norepinephrine) to stay in the brain for a longer time. Side effects of Pamelor may include drowsiness, constipation, and confusion. In order for the drug to work properly, you must take it as prescribed. Typically, Pamelor is taken by mouth one to four times a day. If you do not take it as scheduled, take your missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose.
