A member asked:

Can pamelor (nortriptyline) cause short term memory loss and weird irrational thoughts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: It is best to consult your psychiatrist or general primary care physician about the specific side effects you may be experiencing. Sometimes, Pamelor (nortriptyline) can lead to some cognitive deficits especially in older people. However, the illnesses they treat can also be experienced as cognitive impairing as well.
