Maybe you could go on a more benign tricyclic like desipramine. Or you could try the tetracylcics mirtazapine and maprotiline.

In the beginning I would walk into a room when I was working around the house and forget why I walked in there (I'm 27!) and have to do that 2-3-4 times before I could retain the info from one room to the other. Now it's a little better, I can clean house and things aren't so bad, but I'm still much more forgetful than I used to be.
