Hi,
I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced weight loss from taking Nortriptyline? I am only on 30 mgs. but have lost about 15 lbs. Not that I mind as I gained a great amount of weight from Lithium and Seroquel but I am just wondering if this is normal?

My long bout being misdiagnosed Bipolar II for the last year and a half, along with the following drugs: Lithium, Serzone, Lamictal, Neurontin, Remeron, Cymbalta, Abilify, Seroquel, Depakote, Propranolol, Ambien, Trazadone, Sonata, Valium, Ativan, Paxil, Prozac, Wellbutrin, Zoloft and Temazepam (these are the only ones I can remember. There are MANY more)


Current diagnosis: GAD (severe) OCD (severe) MDD ( Severe), Agoraphobia, PTSD

Possible diagnosis: Dysthymia with recurrent MDD

Current Meds: 30 mgs. Nortriptyline, 163 mgs. Seroquel, 1mg Klonopin 4x/daily, 15 mgs. Temazepam/10 mgs. Sonata, 7.5 mgs. Abilify

No. I'm not familiar with this med but congrats on losing a few pounds. I was on Seroquel at one time and had my psychiatrist wean me off due to weight gain. I've since lost it of course.
