A member asked:

Is nortriptyline addictive 50mg? could i grow a tolerance to the medication?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Withdrawal symptoms: Although nortriptyline is not necessarily addictive, some patients may experience physical symptoms of withdrawal including headache and nausea. Discuss with your physician before making any changes to the medication dose. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a682620.html
