Tricyclic antidepressants

Some popular medications in this group include:

  • Amitriptyline (Elavil, Endep)
  • Clomipramine (Anafranil)
  • Imipramine (Tofranil)
  • Trimipramine (Surmontil)
  • Doxepin (Sinequan, Adapin)

Taking antidepressants may be useful for those with severe clinical depression. However, there are other alternatives to tricyclic antidepressants. And since these have been shown to increase risk of dementia, discussing alternatives with your physician is a great idea.

Since antidepressants are not all that useful to most people, consider trying proven alternatives.
