Concussion, Ringing In Ears, Increasing Pulse Rate. Taking Nortriptyline. Reduce Dosage?
I am taking nortriptyline 75mg daily for a post concussion treatment. The headache broke on the weekend.
Several days ago I started getting ringing in my ears. They backed off my meds to 50mg then 25mg daily.
My sitting pulse was 117 (I am a runner in great shape) so this was high.
Is this ringing a side effect of this drug? Hoping it will go away as I reduce dosage.
