Wow, so sorry to hear of your battles. I had ECT also, failed, and have studied it a lot, and I do not think the emotional numbness you are feeling is from that. More likely it is one of the meds, with lithium being the most suspicious in my mind. I like the idea of adding zoloft to the nortriptyline. I've never been a fan of mirtazapin because I've not seen it work great very often or for very long in many postings on it. For me it was a great sleep med for a while but was somewhat numbing emotionally. The f*rt that you say you don't have any drive is a decent clue that the dopamine circuits are somehow involved, much more likely than the serotonin circuits, but they all work in concert. Too much nortriptyline can numb things down too.
