Hello I would like someone who has this to post as I have this and am at the end of my tether with it.  I don't know why I have it, what's brought it on but I'm under a consultant at Derby Hospital for it.  I had a follow up appointment this week and she's now increased my dose of Nortryptyline from 40g to 50g and wants to see me again in July.  I'm also a T2 diabetic with other ongoing health issues.   I'm just wondering will I ever feel normal again and go back to the days before I was diagnosed with this?  It's very hard to describe my symptoms but I have these every day,  feeling off balance when I walk, swaying feelings if I'm sitting down or standing up, forehead frontal headaches.  Although the medication has helped I'm by no means 'cured'.  I've tried to google as much information as I can about it but I don't feel none the wiser.  Can anyone relate?

    I've had my dosage of Nortriptyline increased to 50mg and i thought that it was actually helping but after a few days i got my symptoms again and today i feel particularly bad with it ie off balance, frontal headache, vertigo feeling.   I'm really at the end of my tether with this and don't know what else i can do :-(
