Hi Tamara. I'm sorry about your medical difficulties. Psych meds complicate things enormously, especially the TCA's.
Nortriptyline was a painfully slow titration process for me, because of the hypotension- I was pouring salt on everything and eating soups, pickles, etc., to get my blood pressure up. So nortriptyline is not free of hypotensive properties, either. the difference is that dosages of nortript are lower, so 50 mg would be a plausible therapeutic dose. You'd still need those salt tablets though!
provigil is unlikely to cause hypotension. I think it also has antidepressant/anxiolytic effects.
