Notriptylin is one of the tricyclic antidepressants. These drugs are also prescribed for relief of certain types of pain. The side effects can be many and vary wildly.

I took Elavil (amitriptyline) many years ago for chronic regional pain syndrome. It did reduce the pain about 50% - BUT it caused me to have psychedelic dreams which progressed to night terrors. I decided I would rather live with the pain. Fortunately, mine is very sporadic.
