9 days : The elimination half life of nortriptyline is about 20 to 90 hours. It takes almost 6 elimination half life's for a drug to be cleared from the human body. Well... It could take a maximum of 540 hours or 8.25 days (6 x 90 hours) for nortriptyline to be completely eliminated. In any case do not discontinue abruptly. Taper down 5mg q3 days. Rec.: consult with your prescribing physician.
