> > The dosage of nortriptyline that people usually respond to is 75mg. There is a dosage window of efficacy within which one must stay in order for the drug to work. The odds are that 125mg will be too high for you. The best way to use the drug might be to begin at 75mg for 3 weeks. If there is no response go to 100mg for another 3 weeks. I would not go on to 125mg without first determining the blood level of the drug to see if you are within the therapeutic range (50-150 ng/ml).
