I find nortriptyline to be a 'downer.' I get sleepy at the appropriate time after I take it. I have a tendency to agitated depression, and a complete inability to sleep when depressed (or not), so its sedating effects are most welcome. On the other hand, there is the 'activation' that others have talked about, which is the motivation to get out and make changes. The blend of these qualities is to me the special characteristic if the TCA's, and not at all unpleasant.

In my experience, nortriptyline is tipped to the 'sedation' end of the scale, while Strattera is palpably 'activating.' For me they make a good combination.
