I was on Nortriptyline for substantial period of time. It depends on an amount of Nortriptyline your are taking daily. Nortriptyline pills could be from 10 mg to 100 mg. Nortriptyline by itself has pretty high cardiac toxicity. So if your daily dosage is small 10-20 mg, I'd say there are no restrictions regarding taking Xanax and Nortriptyline together.But if you are on a higher dosage I'd suggest to be double cautious.
