Hi
have been on ami for a few years about 10-20 mg for a combination of anxiety and migraine with aura (small nerve fibre neuropathy / sodium channelopathy) Currently on 17.5mg
I can't tolerate SSRI's
Due to side effects of permanent indigestion, morning hangover and sleepiness i'm switching to nortriptyline.
switched my dose 2 nights ago at 1:1 and it is definately feeling more stimulating than the ami, I'm just about sleeping but my legs feel electrically charged and i have itchy eyes and tingling face and a headache, yesterday I felt really wired..
I guess im seeing some side effects as the nori is new to my body
Due to bad experiences with sertraline and citalopram in the past giving me very bad restless legs and nerve burning sensations along with anxiety im being cautious
Can anyone confirm nortriptyline is more stimulating and have any experience of switching the two? , if I decide to switch back to ami is it safe to do so? Does the stimulating effect wear off? Should I have tapered down the ami and up the nori? My GP and neuro suggested they are interchangeable 1:1
Thanks
