Amoxapine (Cat. No.:A000936) is a tricyclic antidepressant with rapid onset of action, low cardiotoxicity, and weak anticholinergic and sedative effects. It can produce strong antidepressant and psychostimulant effects by inhibiting the reuptake of norepinephrine by the presynaptic membrane in the brain.
