Nortriptyline is an active metabolite of amitriptyline by demethylation in the liver. Chemically, it is a secondary amine dibenzocycloheptene and pharmacologically it is classed as a first-generation antidepressant. [36] Nortriptyline may also have a sleep-improving effect due to antagonism of the H 1 and 5-HT 2A receptors. [37]
