Groups of Antidepressants and How They Work
Tricyclics (TCAs)
The tricyclic group of antidepressants – named for the three rings making up the chemical shape of the drug – act by blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine back into the sending cell, so there are more NTs in the gap to combat depression. Commonly prescribed drugs from this group include imipramine, amitriptyline, clomipramine, and newer compounds that have a quicker onset of action and fewer side effects, such as nortriptyline and desipramine. The doctor may need to increase the dosage of the drug until you get the full benefit.
Tricyclics have many possible side effects. Some of the more unwelcome ones are weight gain, drowsiness, constipation, dry mouth, blurred vision, dizziness and a decrease in blood pressure. You must move very slowly from lying down to sitting up to standing, so that your blood pressure can adjust to the change in posture; otherwise, you may faint. If you suffer from glaucoma (elevated pressure within the eyes) or heart problems, you may not be able to take these drugs. An overdose of tricyclics can be deadly. Read the rest of this entry »
