Nortriptyline.

Strait from Wikipedia:

Nortriptyline is a second-generation tricyclic antidepressant marketed as the hydrochloride under the trade names Sensoval, Aventyl, Pamelor, Norpress, Allegron and Nortrilen. It is used in the treatment of major depression and childhood nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting). In addition, it is sometimes used for chronic illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain and migraines, and labile affect in some neurological conditions.

Has anyone been prescribed this medication for Pain before? Or has my Doctor lost his mind? I dont like the idea of an antidepressant being prescribed for pain, especially when at times, when the pain is really bad, 12 Norco's in a day are JUST ENOUGH to keep me sane.
