You didn't list nortriptyline as one you had tried. This is related to amitriptyline but is much less serotonergic (that is, much less like an SSRI). It is also less sedating and much less anticholinergic. Nortriptyline is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor with relatively mild side effects for a tricyclic. It is widely used for people with chronic pain, besides being a moderately effective sleep aid and an effective antidepressant.
