I think you may be a TCA responder. I know how you feel about the CV side effects, but perhaps you can give the drug a 4-6 week trial to see what happens. The initial sensations of elevated HR and palpitations usually dissipate. For sleep, doxepin is sometimes chosen. However, if you respond properly to any TCA, the insomnia should resolve. You would probably like nortriptyline better than desipramine. It tends to be a little "smoother" in my experience and should be less likely to disturb sleep early in treatment.
