Nortriptyline - can it worsen pain?

I'm increasing my nortriptyline dose by 10 mg every 5-7 days or so. I'm up to 70 mg nightly.

Unfortunately, I haven't been recording my symptoms on a calendar, but I swear, on 2 or 3 occasions it seems my pain has worsened after an increase in dose.

Anyone else have this happen?

Taking a daily pain diary is a very good idea for people with our condition. I highly recommend it. I often see some revealing patterns.
