Desipramine is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, as is nortriptyline. Nortriptyline has a greater affinity for H1 receptors than desipramine, which might explain why nort sometimes causes drowsiness. As far as I know, nortriptyline also blocks 5-HT2 receptors, which might possibly cause drowsiness as well.
