Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If you have had this kind of episode in the past, it's better not to try using Nortriptyline again.
Nortriptyline doesn't have as a common side effect suicidal thoughts, but sometimes side effects vary in different patients.

You should consult a psychiatrist for deciding the right treatment for your health condition.
