Members shared mixed experiences with nortriptyline for managing pain and fatigue, with some finding it helpful for sleep and mood while others noticed little improvement in pain relief after several months. Several members warned about dry mouth as a significant side effect, recommending Biotene products and frequent water intake to prevent dental issues, while noting that nortriptyline typically causes less dry mouth than its cousin medication amitriptyline. A recurring theme was weighing whether the side effects, including dry mouth and potential anxiety, are worth tolerating based on whether the medication provides meaningful daily relief.
