without discussing it with your doctor first.
•
Do not suddenly stop taking the tablets. Your doctor will tell you
how to cut them down gradually.
IF YOU TAKE MORE NORTRIPTYLINE TABLETS THAN YOU SHOULD

overdose can be very dangerous.
IF YOU FORGET TO TAKE NORTRIPTYLINE TABLETS
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it

up for a forgotten dose, just carry on as before. If you have missed
several doses, discuss this with your doctor.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
ADULTS: The usual adult dose is 25mg three or four times daily. Dosage
should begin
at a low level (50mg once daily or 25mg 2-3 times daily). If
necessary, dose could be
gradually increased in 25mg increments no more rapidly than every
other day to be
added to the morning dose. When doses above 100mg daily are
administered,
monitoring of plasma levels of nortriptyline should be considered and
maintained in
the optimum range of 50 to 150ng/ml. Doses above 150mg per day are not
recommended.
Lower than usual dosages are recommended for elderly patients. Lower
dosages are
also recommended for outpatients than for hospitalised patients who
will be under
close supervision. The physician should initiate dosage at a low level
and increase it
gradually, noting carefully the clinical response and any evidence of
intolerance.
Following remission, maintenance medication may be required for a
longer period of
time. The maintenance dose should be the same as the optimal
therapeutic dose.
If a patient develops minor side-effects, the dosage should be
reduced. The drug
should be discontinued promptly if adverse effects of a serious nature
or allergic
manifestations occur.
ELDERLY: 30 to 50mg/day in divided doses. Dosage should begin at a low
level (10 –
20 mg daily) and be increased as required to the maximum dose of 50mg.
If it is
considered necessary to use higher dosing in an elderly pat
