hmm, there may be something to what philippa says.. do you do psychotherapy in general? because, even before, sleeping only with so many different meds might have some more deep-rooted problems, and all these meds surely compromise your sleep quality... which in turn is bad for treating depression.
in general, I would suggest psychotherapy unless you haven't done so already, but in the short term, can't you either talk to your pdoc (what is she supposed to do when you tell her? she can't call the cops on you or something...) or consult a different psychiatrist?
also I noticed you're upping the nortriptyline quite rapidly, right? maybe going a little slower would be better, in order to have the brain adapt to a certain dose before raising it..
but, personally, and I have really no knowledge to back this up, but I have a hard time believing that so many different meds are going to work together.. do you notice any effect of the nortriptyline so far?
