Treatment for Visual Snow Syndrome

Nortriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant that acts as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and moderate serotonin reuptake inhibitor, potentially modulating neuronal excitability and sensory processing in Visual Snow Syndrome. By altering neurotransmitter balance and potentially reducing cortical hyperexcitability, it may help ameliorate visual static, photophobia, and other perceptual disturbances associated with the syndrome.
