The first thing to do is to consider increasing the dosage of Effexor to a minimum of 300 mg if you can tolerate it.

These are two excellent choices. If necessary, they can both be combined with the Effexor. It makes sense to try the nortriptyline first and avoid the risk of akathisia with Abilify. I am currently taking both at the same time.
Good luck. Let us know what your next move is.
