No problem.: Nortriptylline has few and easily managed side effects. A murmur in general would not be affected in any significant way by nortriptylline.D.

For functional dyspepsia (lower abdominal burning/nausea/loss of appetite), if amitriptyline is too sedating/tired making at low dose of 20mg but works well and nortriptyline made my heart race, should I talk to my doc about desipramine or imipramine?

I am on 20 mg nortriptyline daily for migraine headaches. It has raised by resting heart rate from 52 bpm to 72 bpm. Unsurprisingly I am a distance runner, and it seems as if it is significantly slowing my pace. Does that make sense?
