If you have a positive TCA result in a drug test, it means you have tested positive for taking an antidepressant drug. They can found traces of the drug in your system.
Tricyclic antidepressants (TCA's) like trazodone (Desyrel) and amitriptyline (Elavil).
Yes. It crosses over into the TCA's YES.IT DOES CROSSES OVA THE TCA'S I AGREE!
Yes, it can come up as a TCA (Tricyclic Antidepressant). Not illegal, but something that someone may as you about because they are not commonly prescribed anymore. There is also evidendce that it can make you test falsely for Methadone.
No. Antidepressants will not show up on standard drug tests. However some commonly used drug tests will detect tricyclic antidepressants (TCA's), an older class of antidepressants. Since antidepressants (including TCA's) are not addictive or controlled substances there is rarely a need to test for them. It is technically possible to test for any drug but employer, military, home, and hospital drug tests will not test for them (although some home drug tests and hospital tests will find TCA's). A class of drugs known as benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin/Rivotril, Serax, Restoril) are often incorrectly described as antidepressants. These drugs are often tested for due to their potential for abuse, however most drug tests only test for PCP, cocaine, amphetamines (including meth and ecstasy), opiates (codeine, morphine, and heroin), and THC (marijuana). Benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and oxycodone are the most common tests added to the basic 5-panel test. If any drug were to show up on a drug test you would not have a problem if you can provide a valid prescription.
NIDA-5 is the most commonly used drug test and it tests for:Cannabinoids (marijuana, hashish - tests for metabolite THCCOOH)Cocaine (cocaine, benzoylecognine, cocaethylene)- tests for cocaine metabolite)Amphetamines (amphetamine, methamphetamine)Opiates (heroin, opium, codeine, morphine, 6-MAM)Phencyclidine (PCP)Methadone (MTD)Barbiturates (BAR)Benzodiazepines (BZO)Tricyclic antidepressants (TCA)Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA or ecstasyin case you are wondering Oxycontin and oxycodone are considered OPIATES

As part of an ongoing treatment study of co-occurring bipolar mania and cannabis abuse in adolescents, we obtained bi-monthly urine toxicology screens using the Status DS™ immunoassay. It was noted that the first five subjects initially tested negative for tricylcic antidepressants (TCAs) but all five tested positive after being treated with topiramate or placebo and quetiapine. All of the patients denied using TCAs, but were forthcoming regarding their drug use. A quetiapine trough blood level was also obtained on the same morning that the urine toxicology screens were performed and the results paralleled the TCA toxicology findings, i.e., when subjects showed quetiapine in their serum (5.1 to 85 ng/ml), they tested positive for TCAs. However, when two of the subjects were non-adherent to their medications and their quetiapine levels were undetectable, their toxicology screens were negative for TCAs. After these two patients were encouraged to take their medications and had detectable quetiapine levels, they once again tested positive for TCIt looks like Seroquel will show up as a positive for TCA panel.
