Did the nortriptyline make you feel worse, or merely not help you sleep, so you changed to amitriptyline?
If it was just the sleep thing I would restart nortriptyline at 75mg at night, and also take amitriptyline (oe even better doxepin 25mg) for sleep, you will be hitting your depression with the 1-2 knockout punch, and still remain within normal doseage limits for a tricyclic.
I agree with scott, a list of what drugs have helped and which ones havent would be very usefull.
If things are realy bad, would your insurance cover a short period of treatment in a specialised institution, for example, the Menninger Clinic?
