I was given nortriptyline to take for treating dizziness and vertigo. After the third time of taking it (5mg at night) I got bad chest pain and aching down my arm, much like you would when having a heart attack. The only other side effect I had was shaking legs. I went back to my doctor and he said he didnt think it could effect your heart but to try amitriptyline instead. I am concerned that this will effect me in the same way as the two medicines have a similar make up. Has anyone else taken these and how did they effect you?
