Nortriptyline Solution

Generic Name: Nortriptyline Solution (nor-TRIP-tih-leen)
Brand Name: Pamelor

The risk of suicidal thinking and behavior was increased by antidepressant use in short-term studies in children and adolescents with certain psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of Nortriptyline Solution or any other antidepressant in a child or adolescent must balance this risk with the clinical need. Patients who are started on Nortriptyline Solution should be watched closely for worsening of symptoms, suicidal thoughts and behavior, or unusual behavior changes. Families and caregivers should be aware of the need for close observation of the patient and communication with the doctor.

Results from several studies in children and adolescents with certain psychiatric disorders have shown a greater risk of side effects related to suicidal thinking and behavior during the first few months of treatment with antidepressants.

Nortriptyline Solution is used for:

Treating depression. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Nortriptyline Solution is a tricyclic antidepressant. It works by increasing the activity of certain chemicals in the brain that help elevate mood.
