I have been on Nortriptyline for 3 1/2 years and it has helped me so much. My husband and I have recently decided that we would like to have a baby and I know I need to be completely off of this drug. Three weeks ago, my doctor started to taper me and as of Friday, June 27th I have been completely off of nortriptyline. For five days I had terrible stomach cramps, nausea, and some low back pain. After that I felt pretty good for only two days. The symptoms (stomach cramps, nausea, back pain) have returned and I just feel terrible. I'm just wondering if these symptoms will be going away anytime soon. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
