Hi, this drug belong to anti depressant category but is quite effective in nerve pain too i.e. neuritis. Other drugs like gabapentin, pregabalin, amitryptline, carbamazepine are also effective and are relatively safe as compared to nortryptline.

It helps my nerve pain.  I'm not sure what type of pain you have.  It is worth the drowsiness:)
