Ed gave the advice that I was going to give. Nortriptyline is peculiar is in its dose-proprtional effects. At 75 mg, I find it somewhat sedating, but at 100 mg, it seems to either have a stimulant effect on its own, or it potentiates the effect of Ritalin. I asked my pdoc about a pharmacokinetic reaction between the two drugs, and he said there wasn't a major one.
I used the 10 mg caps to titrate up because I was in a physically debilitated state and barely functioning when I started nortriptyline and it slowly brought me back to health (relativel;y speaking).
Since there seems to be a discontinuity between my responses to 75 and 100 mg, there may be a middle ground that works for you in combination with the Parnate. I wish you the best of luck.
