Members shared mixed experiences with nortriptyline for fibromyalgia pain, with most noting it helped them fall asleep within 15 minutes but varied widely in pain relief effectiveness. Several members described being on combinations of medications including Lyrica, tramadol, codeine, and zapain, yet many still experienced significant pain and fatigue despite treatment. A recurring theme was that while nortriptyline and similar tricyclics provided some benefit for sleep and mood, finding adequate pain management remains an ongoing challenge requiring frequent medication adjustments and combinations.
