I have gone cold turkey off 100mg nortriptyline now on day 5. how much longer can i expect withdrawal symtoms (disturbed sleep, dizzy, wierd tingling)?

Not a good idea!: never is a good idea to "cold turkey" stop a medication, especially on your own w/o your Doctors guidance. The "withdrawal symptoms" days will depend on how long you have taking it, the longer the more days you will need. The concerning part is that the problem you started taking the medication for , like depression, could crash you and some people have become suicidal. Call your physician ASAP!
