Well, if the pharmacist said that the valium was higher because of the theo-stuff (not motivated enough to look back for the name, sorry), then my guess is that it's not the nortriptyline per se, but the combination in its entirety. How does the valium effect you without the nort? And can you try the nort for a day or two without the valium?
Another thing, which you already know even though you don't want to know it, is that a lot of side effects like this are very transient. You won't know what the "real" side effects will be until you've been on a drug for a while. At 10mg, I doubt you're feeling anything at all from the nort yet, frankly, although your anxiety about taking it has been so high for a while now that you may be reacting to that.
Hope that helps, and hope you don't give up quite yet. Be well, and take care.
