Nortriptyline appears as though it may be similar in action profile to desipramine, and it is one of "+++" meds from this post of yours (an Italian opinion on ADHD meds). Too bad Preskorn did not write about it.

Desipramine got a "++".
I think your idea that the secondary amine TCs would be the best options to try next has merit. TCs are accepted as ADHD meds in Italy moreso than the pstims and you appear from your posts to be physically tolerating clomipramine well (and it's one of the worst offenders among TCs for those side-effects!). A TC which is not as psychoactively "dirty" as clomipramine might be the answer for addressing the ADHD without inducing these "ODD/SP" symptoms.
