Anyone have experience with nortriptyline?

I have not had the best experiences with anti-depressants. My latest one was Wellbutrin, which seems to have helped mess me up the last couple months with hypomanic and/or mixed states. I have been very irritable, raging, suicidal at times. I stopped using the Wellbutrin about a month ago. Well I also deal with migraine headaches and the neurologist started me on nortryptyline about 3-4 weeks ago. It is a small dose, I am building up to maybe 50 mg a day. It hasn't helped yet with the occurrence of headaches and has caused my eyes to be somewhat blurry at times. It hasn't, for better or worse, affected my mood from what I can tell. The one benefit is that it is helping make me sleep for part of the night, which I wasn't before with issues with the Wellbutrin. I just don't know if should be taking it right now given my history with ADs
