> I would suggest nortriptyline, though many of those are good drugs. It is relatively good on side-effects, and though desipramine may narrowly beat it out on that score, I've seen metaanalyses that suggest nortriptyline may also a more powerful antidepressant.
Nortriptyline proved to have one noticeable side effect for me that I've seen little mention of. Namely, sexual dysfunction, specifically weakened and short-lived erections along with some loss of libido. It was barely mentioned in the patient prescription printout I received with just a brief reference under the rare side effect listing and an admonition to call your doctor immediately (which my pdoc didn't understand at all).
