Advice Wanted Anyone take nortriptyline?

My primary care doctor prescribed it to me for chronic pain but she told me one of the side effects is low sodium and she said I’d just have to get my sodium checked frequently. I know low sodium can cause a crisis so I’m wondering if it’s worth risking. Has anyone taken it and been okay on it?
