Nortriptyline was sedating for me, even up to 100mg taken chronically, although not nearly as sedating as amitriptyline. Were I to add a TCA to my MAOI, would def start with desipramine. Not too familiar with protriptyline; the affinities suggest it's got more anticholinergic, antihistamine, and 5HT2A antagonism action, relative to NET inhibition, than desi. But affinities can be misleading. Maybe worth a shot, too. I'd be interested to hear about the results.
