A member asked:
Why would nortriptyline be used for muscle spasms?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Effective: Nortriotyline was originally used for depression years ago. However over time we have discovered it helps quite a bit for various types of pain in the body as well, such as headaches and even muscle pain. This is a safe, well-studied medication. Give it a try if your doctor recommends it.
