If you had continued to take nortriptyline, it is likely that the soporific effect would have disappeared within 3 days. This seems to be the rule. Perhaps you would have been an exception to that rule, but you cannot know this for certain without trying the drug again and to continue taking it beyond a single dose.
Have you tried doxepin (Sinequan)? It can act as a potent antidepressant and anxiolytic at the same time. It will probably produce the typical anticholinergic side effects, but these often mitigate with continued treatment.
Have you taken any tricyclic antidepressant for longer than 4 weeks?
