Hello Everyone...I'm new to the Forum.
I am taking a daily dose of 40 MG of Nortiptyline. It eliminates all of my pain but only sometimes. I will go from 1-2 months with no pain at all except for a slight twing after urination that goes away after a few minutes. Then there are other times when the pain is back and last for several weeks to over a month. Has anyone else experienced this where the pain will be gone for periods of time and then return for a period of time. Before taking the Nortriptyline I had constant pain nearly everyday mostly in the tip of penis. Now when I have pain it is mostly in perennial area. Feels like a burning pain.
NORTRIPTYLINE is working sometimes
Re: NORTRIPTYLINE is working sometimes
I think you will find you're waxing and waning which is very common after the initial flare 
Age:33 | Onset Age:19 | Symptoms:burning urethra, deep sore stinging around the perineum, dribbling | Helped By:when flare starts deep relaxing over a toilet to let out dribbling urine, hot bath, rubbing a heat cream on the perineum, Tens with a pad on the perineum, running, medication (solpadol) for pain. Current treatment: PT. | Worsened By:sitting, stressing over it, ejaculation, sometimes alcohol but I risk it. Been feeling a lot better last 6 months about 85% with a few flares lasting about 5 days. No longer having PT. Stretching every other night and I believe time is also a big factor for me
