Indications
Nortriptyline is a dibenzocycloheptadiene tricyclic antidepressant with actions and uses similar to those of amitriptyline. It is the principal active metabolite of amitriptyline. Nortriptyline is one of the less sedating tricyclics and its antimuscarinic effects are mild.
Antidepressants, usually amitriptyline or another tricyclic, are useful in alleviating some types of pain. Nortriptyline has also been tried and may produce fewer adverse effects than amitriptyline. An initial oral dose of 10 to 25 mg at night has been suggested by the BNF for the management of neuropathic pain.
