[QUOTE=index.html]Well, first off, it isn't unusual for nortriptyline to cause constipation, sometimes severe. If yours is bad, I wouldn't be surprised if treating it eliminated alot of your symptoms. Are you taking Metamucil? That would be the best place to start. Add raw carrots and apples to your daily diet. If those don't work, add Colace (a stool softener). If you're still having problems, you may have to use Milk of Magnesium occasionally.

How long have you been on the nortriptyline?

I have been on nortriptyline for 2-3 months. A GI doctor gave me a prescription for MiraLax (which I found out isn't a laxative but just holds water in the colon). I have started using it but haven't seen any results yet.
