Hi I'm too on nortriptyline, have been since about March this year. You should take them at least 2 to 3 hours before you sleep, say if you wanted to get up at 7am and not feel tired you're best taking them around 9/10pm. I was on gabapentin and amitriptyline and I can honestly say I'm in a good place nerve pain wise since starting this medication. Gabapentin is a bugger to come off, you may feel very odd for a while, whilst it leaves your system. I reacted very bad to that and amitriptyline, I really hope nortriptyline works for you! If you need to ask any further questions then I'm all ears.
P. S it does take a few months to adjust to the right level for you, took me a while but finally found balance.
