I’ve been prescribed 10mg and I’ll work up to 30 mg over the next few weeks. While I’m desperate for pain relief for my migraines... I am concerned about gaining weight on this medication.
Nortriptyline - Did anyone experience weight gain/loss on nortriptyline?

For me I gained 25 lb the first month I was on it. My doctors have been trying to help me lose weight before and still now that I have stopped taking it. I understand about wanting to do anything to just stop the migraine. I had to stop it, but for me at least it didn't help me with pain but that's just me. I hope you can find some relief from your pain.
