Eddie,
I have seen nortryptyline used as an adjunct to pain meds ect and to promote sleep. It is an antidepressant but has a sleepiness side effect. Did they tell you to take it at night? It is if I remember correctly a tricylic antidepressant. It works on the brain. As with most meds in it metabolized by the liver. I don't recall hearing anything too alarming about it. It has been around a long time so there should be lots of info on it.
I took it about 5 years ago and it did not help me.
Good luck
