> Life is very uncomfortable right now
Upon further thought, I am not convinced that it makes sense for you to switch to desipramine at this juncture. I'm afraid that you might be overly sensitive to NE reuptake inhibitors with respect to anorgasmia. This would be unusual compared to SSRIs, but it is listed as a side-effect of both tricyclics. However, this might be a standard listing for all tricyclics as a class-effect.
It does happen that someone will respond to nortriptyline and not to desipramine. The converse is also true. If you are indicating here that your discomfort is due to your illness, you might as well resume increasing the dosage of nortriptyline. You really do need to find something that helps you immediately. Give nortriptyline more time to see how well it works and then evaluate its side effects. Side effects that appear very early often disappear with continued treatment. Hopefully, your ability to orgasm will return.
