My GI doctor from UCLA has started me on a very low dose of Nortriptyline. It is used in a low dose to treat visceral hypersensitivity. Has anyone taken this medicine?

I haven’t, but I’d be really interested to hear your experience with it if you move forward, or anyone else’s.

I want so much to make more progress but I’m leery of the neuromodulators because I’m very sensitive to medication, even in situations where I took a fraction of the dose. And I always read or year about “limited research” and “some research” to show that low doses of neuromodulators may help, but response is very individual, etc. It just sounds very wishy washy and risky for my medication sensitivity.

But I really hope it works for you if you decide to move forward and would love to hear your experience.
