Nortriptyline is available as capsules to take the medication as directed by your doctor. Typically, it is taken by mouth 1 to 4 times daily, and the dose may need to be adjusted based on your individual needs and response to treatment. Take the medication regularly to get the most benefit from it, and to take it at the same time each day to help remember it.
Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed, as this can increase the risk of side effects without improving your condition any faster. Your doctor will monitor you closely to be sure the medication is working as it should and to check for any side effects.
The typical dosing for nortriptyline (Pamelor) is 25 mg by mouth taken three or four times per day, and doses higher than 150 mg per day are not recommended.
