Anyone tried nortriptyline?

Has anyone tried nortriptyline? My doctor has prescribed it for me, I've been taking it for about 10 days now and don't see much improvement. My doctor says it could take several weeks to notice a difference.
I'm hoping it will provide some relief. I've been dealing with this for about 10 years. In the past it was only a few times a month, but now it is only a few times a month that I DON'T have it.

This is taking a real toll on my self image/self worth. It's put a definite strain on my marriage, my husband was more supportive in the past, but now that this has become more of an everyday thing our sex life is pretty non existent. I feel terrible about not having sex, but I feel way worse having it. I don't see things changing anytime soon as far as sex goes. Sex = pain, and not just during but also for several days after. It's very hard to communicate that to someone who has no idea of what it is like. I'm sure he thinks I am using this as an excuse. He knows i have pain but i am not vocal about my pain, I just live with it. I don't want to become one of those people that only talks about my pain/dr visits/treatments so he is not aware of how much pain I live with. Sad.

We went to a movie recently and it was a struggle to sit for that length of time. I need to get up every 15 minutes or so or the burning/pain becomes unbearable. I am unable to wear pants, and have only worn skirts or dresses for the last several years. I so wish I could wear pants!

Hoping for some relief soon.

It did me wonders but put me to sleep within 20min. At the time I HAD to work so i had to just deal with being not really there at work, but if you can take a hard core nap afterwards its a great med. Although at least my body got used to it cuz i was using amnitriptolene before that.
