Amitriptyline for ADHD

Previous Page Next Page

Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant

  • Serotonergic, as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, with this effect predominating1
  • Weaker also noradrenergic

Metabolite of amitryptiline is nortriptyline, which inhibits norepinephrine reuptake. See ⇒ Nortriptyline in ADHD.

Amitryptiline has sleep-inducing and anxiolytic effects. Like trimipramine, it does not impair REM sleep.
