Hello, I’ve been going through a rough patch for the last few months suffering from depression my doctor sent me to a Neurologist specialist who then put me on Nortryptyline Hcl 10mg. I was apprehensive at first to take it because I’m really sensitive to medication. 

Fast forward 3 weeks and I start to feel palpitations/fluttering, get spooked and stopped the Nortryptyline cold turkey. Both my primary care and the specialist said it was ok to stop the medicine suddenly. The specialist is adamant that I shouldn’t be feeling withdrawals because it’s such a low dose and I hadn’t been taking it long.

(I had also tried Fluoxetine and Nortryptyline both 10mg at the same and stopped the fluoxetine after 4 days because both at the same time made me feel disassociated and awful.)

Now a week later (today) I feel like I have been feeling progressively worse since stopping that Nortryptyline. I have gotten irritable and had really violent nausea and vomiting today, and couldn’t sleep at all the night before due to restlessness and body aches. Again I brought this up to the neurologist when I saw him today but he was adamant it was my anxiety (my anxiety has never been strong enough to make me vomit violently) and not withdrawals.

Personally I think it is 100% withdrawals from the Nortryptyline

Am I wrong? Or is my body just breaking down and something bad is happening?
