You bet: Nortriptyline has many anti-cholinergic effects and side effects, including dryness of eyes and mouth. Really an old-fashioned drug for migraine prevention with lots of nasty side events, and mediocre results, but certainly cheap. If you are on budget, go otc, and try butterbur, feverfew, co-q10, riboflavin, or magnesium. All work far better without the grief. Talk to your doctor and get switch.
