Protriptyline hydrochloride (CAT: I000868) is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) that acts as a secondary amine. It is primarily prescribed for the treatment of depression and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Unlike other TCAs, protriptyline has a stimulating effect rather than a sedating one, making it useful in conditions such as narcolepsy to promote wakefulness. By inhibiting the reuptake of neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and serotonin in the brain, protriptyline helps restore their balance and alleviate symptoms of depression and ADHD. Its energizing properties make it a favorable option for certain individuals who require a wakefulness-promoting effect.
