You may not be able to take nortriptyline (name brands: Aventyl, Pamelor) and drive, which is a huge problem for many people. Side effects like sleepiness, light-headedness, shaky hands, and blurred vision can make you a danger behind the wheel. If you can solve the transportation issue and your physician agrees that nortriptyline is right for you (and you have no history of heart disease), it is better than smoking. Just don't drive or operate any heavy machinery until you know you can tolerate the drug without problems.
