Sedation and fatigue are not the same. Strattera did not sedate me, but eventually made me feel terrible fatigue. I've also experienced fatigue on neuroleptics and on buspirone. Many get fatigue on SSRI's, despite initial stimulation, because they interfere with sleep. Nortriptyline has a sedative effect, but it is definitely not fatiguing, albeit it is no stimulant. But I read something interesting about nortriptyline the other day. Elizabeth Wurtzel, the Prozac diva, who helped popularize the drug, said that nortriptyline, unlike all the SSRI's she had tried, did not make her tired.
