With the exception of Tianeptine, almost all of the tricyclic antidepressants are reuptake inhibitors. Nortriptyline blocks the reuptake of norepinephrine fairly strongly and the reuptake of serotonin moderately. They do a lot of other things as well, but the reuptake type of mechanisms seem to take awhile to work. Blocking of postsynaptic receptors seems to work a lot faster like histamine making you tired and D2 blockade with antipsychotics works fairly quickly.
