Never taken Nortip, but I have taken Tofranil-PM, which is also in the TCA family.
Sorry you're having problems. This taper may be for the best, though; long-term TCA use is probably not the most desirable thing in the world, so maybe you can try something else with fewer long-term risks.
Do you ever take supplements? I remember reading in your previous posts that your mood and anxiety got worse AFTER chronic use of Paxil. This is kind of like what happened with my mood disorder. Before I took antipsychotics and antidepressants, the psychotic component of my problem was decidedly less pronounced than it is now. Part of this might be getting older, but I honestly think part of it is due to the treatment itself. I've been taking a bunch of supplements (you can check the alternative board if you're interested), and I'm pleased with the results.
Good luck!
