If you have depression, a healthcare provider may prescribe Pamelor® (nortriptyline hydrochloride). It is not quite clear how the drug works, but it is thought that it helps to keep certain chemicals in the brain longer, which helps to relieve the symptoms of depression.
 
Common side effects of this product include drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, and dry mouth. Because this drug may not be suitable for everyone, tell your healthcare provider about all of the medications you take and any medical conditions you have. As with any medication, it is possible to overdose on Pamelor. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop any overdose symptoms, such as seizures, hallucinations, or changes in heart rhythm.
