Is This Dosage Of Nortriptyline Advisable For Peripheral Neuropathy?
I have been on nortriptoline 25 milligrams once a day for 2-3 years. I take it for peripheral neuropathy. I called about two weeks ago for an appt. with my dr. When I had about two weeks left on my prescription. The firsts appt. he had was on Jan 2. I asked for a prescription until he could see me. No one ever returned my calls (3) nor a call from my pharmacy. Will the 25 m. Per day cause withdrawal problem? I m 76 yr old female.

Hello,
I have gone through your query. It is alright to take 25 mg if your doctor prescribed it. For avoiding withdrawal, you have to taper the dosage.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
