Nortriptyline

Nortriptyline is a medication primarily used to treat depression and certain types of chronic pain. It belongs to a class called tricyclic antidepressants, which help balance chemicals in the brain that affect mood and pain perception. It can also be prescribed for conditions like migraine prevention or nerve pain. Nortriptyline works by increasing levels of certain neurotransmitters, such as norepinephrine, to improve mood and reduce pain signals. Like all medications, it may have side effects and require medical supervision to ensure safe and effective use.
