Well, my bet would be to start out with Zoloft 25mg at night and Nortriptyline 25mg at night for 4 nights, then go to 50mg of each at night, then eventualy get to 100mg of Zoloft and 75-100mg of nortriptyline (even upto 150mg - its best to get a blood test for nortriptyline blood levels to make sure you're in "the zone")
You should hit this dose after say 2 weeks, and give it a fair trial (say 6 weeks at full doseage) before deciding wether it has worked or not.
If it doesnt, you still have the option of magnetic seizure therapy, but if it does work, a daily pill is a lot easier than regular sessions of MST thriouhgout your life.
So - startof with 25mg of Zoloft and 25mg of nortriptyline at night
Slowly push to 100mg Zoloft and 75mg of nortriptyline at night, then get your blood levels of nortriptyline measured, and adjust dose based on this
Stay at thereputic dose for 6 weeks before making a decision
Hope this (or the MST)works for you bud.
