I guess I would vote for desipramine, as my own experience with nortriptyline was that it was too sedating. Desipramine is definitely more activating and because it works so heavily on norepinephrine, you may find it has a tendency to reduce your need for sleep. It does have a weak histamine blockade that some people are sensitive to, but this is going to generally be overpowered by its NE reuptake blockade. Some people feel nortriptyline is a better antidepressant, and desipramine is better for ADD, but this was certainly not my experience. YMMV.
