Nortriptyline Description
Norpress (Nortriptyline) is also called Pamelor or Aventyl. Norpress is a tricyclic antidepressant used to treat depression. It may also be used to treat chronic pain and other conditions as determined by your doctor. It works by stopping re-uptake of certain excitatory chemicals into brain cells. These chemicals then accumulate and are able to have a stimulatory effect on the brain.
