Nortriptyline was a nightmare for me, when I took it: it worked against the depression, at least enough for the therapy to have some effect, but I was tired, sleepless, and gained about 75 pounds.

Let's see: the SSRIs were helping until you upped the dosage? How about trying one of the newer drugs, like Effexor or Serzone? They're similar, but work differently. Maybe that would help you?

And a good therapist is worth his or her weight in gold and precious gems. If you're not seeing a talk-doc, hie thee to one! If you are, but it's not helping, remember that you can interview a number of them before choosing one. It's like dating, if the chemistry is not there, you can't force it.

Good luck.
