I have been taking 15mg of Methylphenidate twice each day for the past 18 months. It is for Adult ADHD. I am 59 years old. I have no general history of drug abuse other than having smoke pot and heavy drinking when I was a kid.
From time to time I have taken more Methylphenidate (up to 30mg) per dose and/or taken a third dose during the day. To me it seems 15mg does the job and when I take 20 or 25mg per dose it just gets me a bit reved up. The regular dose of 15mgX2 gives me the "enthusiasm" I need to get through the day.
Just now I started taking Nortriptyline 25mg twice a day for a pinched nerve in my neck. It is supposed to help with nerve pain. I can't say it relieves the pain but it somehow makes it feel different... less intense.
Overall, I am concerned with the combination of the two drugs. One is actually a stimulant, the other an anti-depressant. You'd think they'd work against each other.
I find... after two weeks... that the combination makes me feel quite well as it pertains to ADHD... plenty of focus, no anxiety. Nothing noticed as to adverse side effects.... BP low/normal. Appetite normal.

Can you take Xanax and nortriptyline together?
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. http://www.tensionheadache.medgrip.com
