Not really: Most people find that nortriptyline makes them sleepy. It's not bad that you're having these side effects; it just might not be the right medication for you. You might want to move it to the daytime and see if that works better for you. I don't know why you are taking it and that would make a difference if you could change to something with less side effects.
