tricyclic antidepressants [TCAs]
TCAs (tricyclic antidepressants) are medicines doctors usually use to treat depression. Doctors may also use them to treat cataplexy.
TCAs include:
- Clomipramine (such as Anafranil)
- Protriptyline (such as Vivactil), which has wake-promoting effects, so doctors can use it to also treat excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS)
