Anyone taking Nortriptyline (Pamelor)?

I asked for an EMG test so they sent me to a new Pain Manager. He never got the referral so he gave me 6 weeks of PT and a bottle of Pamelor. It is used at an anti-depressant though I'm not depressed. They say this drug will allow me to take less Oxycontin. It doesn't make sense that taking MORE drugs is going to help me take less drugs. I'm wary of taking Pamelor because I know nothing about it, and nobody who takes it.
Can someone kindly give me some insight into this drug.
What organ does it hurt the most?
Is it safer than Oxycontin/Neurontin?
Does it work as good as Oxycontin/Neurontin?

Thanks!

I'm slowly losing faith with doctors. They seem to push drugs on people that they may not really need. I think doctors like giving heroin addicts Methadone because they dont make money off heroin (but they make money off Methadone.)
