Nortriptyline (Pamelor), in combination with weekly behavioral therapy, is effective in helping highly motivated smokers to quit. The medication may be an alternative for patients who cannot tolerate or do not benefit from bupropion. Given the high motivation of the group and the extensive behavioral therapy they also received, results are not likely to be as good in typical practice.
