Specializes in Psychiatry

Nortriptylene: Stopping Nortriptylene does not usually cause a withdrawal syndrome, but the symptoms for which it was prescribed can return -- especially if the discontinuation was relatively abrupt. You have not specified what those issues were, so I would caution you to discuss this with your physician.
