Introduction

Nortriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant, sold under a variety of brand names including Pamelor and Aventyl HCl. It is used to treat problems such as depression.

Nortriptyline is sometimes used to treat people with autism who have mental health problems. It may also be used to treat people with ASD who have other problems, such as repetitive behaviours or social deficits.

Our Opinion

We are currently reviewing the research evidence on the use of nortriptyline for people with autism. We have not yet formed an opinion on nortriptyline but we do have an opinion on Anti-Depressants as a whole.
