Wellbutrin definitely helped with my low blood pressure when I was taking Amitriptyline (Elavil), as did Adderall in addition to helping with lack of motivation and apathy. However, Wellbutrin didn't agree with me in the anxiety department and gave me ceaseless negative feelings which resulted in its discontinuance. Prozac also helped with some of those issues when added to Amitriptyline, although some caution is warranted due to Anafranil's high serotonin affinity. I guess you're looking for more activating agents that can be added to your Anafranil, which leads to meds like Wellbutrin, Adderall, a more energic TCA, Prozac, (Parnate--a MAOI--is activating but contraindicated).
Hopefully, others will post some ideas...
