Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs). TCAs were introduced in the 1950s and over the years have become the mainstay of treatment for cataplexy and the other REM-related symptoms. The doses used are usually less than the doses required in the treatment of depression. Imipramine (Tofranil) is the most widely used TCA for narcolepsy and is usually effective at doses from 10 to 75 mg given once a day. Some doctors prefer the TCA protriptyline (Vivactil) because it has mild stimulant effects, but it has not been as widely used or as thoroughly studied in narcolepsy. The common side effects of TCAs are drowsiness, dry mouth, and constipation, but these are usually not a problem at the lower doses used for narcolepsy. Patients should receive a baseline electrocardiograph (EKG) before starting a TCA and should have blood levels of the medication checked periodically. [Pg.280]

A few modifications of the described methods have been suggested for making nortriptyline [27-32], Nortriptyline is a drug with a relatively short latent period of action. It is practically devoid of sedative effects. It is used in manic-depressive psychoses, in all forms of endogenous depression, and also in major depressive conditions. The most common synonyms of nortriptyline are aventyl, nortrilen, motival, vivactil, and pamelor. [Pg.109]

Protriptyline is a powerful antidepressant, the mechanism of action of which is not known. It is not a MAO inhibitor and does not stimulate the CNS. It begins to act much faster and acts much longer than imipramine or amitriptyline. Protriptyline does not possess sedative tranquilizing properties. It is used in clinical conditions for treating severe depression. The most common synonyms are concordin, triptil, and vivactil. [Pg.110]
