Hi Tamara.
As Blueberry suggested, it is possible that your withdrawal from nortriptyline might be a factor in what you are feeling. However, I would have expected these things to develop within three days of discontinuation rather than a week later. It is hard to know for sure.
There is nothing wrong with continuing on a reduced dosage of nortriptyline while taking Zoloft and Wellbutrin. Zoloft moderately increases the blood levels of nortriptyline, so 25mg would be a very reasonable dosage to remain on.
SRI + TCA can sometimes work well when SRI monotherapy does not. Don't neglect the possibility that Zoloft + nortriptyline might work. You would probably want to go to 50mg and then return to 75mg if you want to adequately explore the combination.
