Ok, after more research I see that nortriptyline is a secondary amine, which causes more increases in norepinephrine than tertiary amines like amitriptyline, imipramine, trimipramine, and doxepin.
Since drugs that enhance NE are like poison to me, and since so many of my physical symptoms (and possibly also my affective instability?) seem to respond to anticholinergic drugs, perhaps tricyclics are worth another shot. But this time one of the tertiary amines. What do you think? I'd have to check out the effects on insulin and diabetes. :(
