check out this study:

and for an abstract that actually GIVES the rates of response to these drugs (very significant)
http://biopsychiatry.com/nortriptyline.htm
Granted, these are studies comparing rates of response in elderly patients, but it's not unreasonable to conclude that if the differential in efficacy is this great in what one would presume to think would be a hard-to-treat group, there might be similar differentials observable in other age groups.
