Tricyclic are a family of antidepressants that were given to people before the SSRI. Often psychiatrists prescribe a tricyclic and a newer anti-depressant usually a selective serotonin Inhibitor or a serotonin Norefenefphan selective inhibitor. Your doctor can usual decide what is safe

What do they look for in a random drug test?

A blood sample is routinely used to detect ethanol/methanol and ASA/paracetamol intoxication. Various panels are used for screening urine samples for common substances, e.g. triage 8 that detects amphetamine, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methadone, opiates, cannabis, barbiturates and tricyclic antidepressants. Results are given in 10-15 min.


Antidote for benzodiazepine?

Romazicon/Roche (Flumazenil) is a specific benzodiazepine receptor antagonist indicated for the reversal of the CNS depressant effects of the benzodiazepines. It is contraindicated where multiple agents (ie: tricyclic antidepressants) have also been used concomitantly. Given that Flumazenil is a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist, it must be borne in mind that seizures may be invoked in individuals whom are physically dependent on benzodiazepines, and hence, it should not be used in this scenario unless absolutely warranted.


Tricyclic antidepressants compared to selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors?

Tricyclics are more potent antidepressants compared to the newer SSRIs. The reason SSRIs tend to be prescribed more, however, is because tricyclics are less well tolerated due to their antimuscarinic effects, such as: dryness of mouth, constipation, dizziness, abnormal heart rhythm, blurred vision and urinary retention. Trycyclics cannot be given to people with with hypotension or heart problems. SSRIs generally have a longer half life (15-50 hrs vs. 12-32 hrs for trycyclics) and do not require as high a concentration in the blood as tricyclics for their therapeutic effect.

Can you take ultram and flexeril together?

You can check all known interactions of drugs yourself with the website http://www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.php. Simply type in the drugs you wish to find and select the correct drug from the dropdown menu. All known interactions will then appear.---- Interactions searched:* Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) * Ultram (traMADOL) ---- 1 Interaction found:# Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) and Ultram (traMADOL) (Major Drug-Drug) SERIOUS PROBLEM: The risk of seizures may be increased during coadministration of tramadol with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI antidepressants or anorectics), monoamine oxidase inhibitors, neuroleptic agents, central nervous system stimulants, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, other tricyclic compounds (e.g., cyclobenzaprine, phenothiazines), and/or any substance that can reduce the seizure threshold (e.g., carbapenems, cholinergic agents, fluoroquinolones, interferons, chloroquine, mefloquine, lindane, theophylline). These agents are often individually epileptogenic and may have additive effects when combined. Many of these agents also exhibit CNS- and/or respiratory-depressant effects, which may be enhanced during their concomitant use with tramadol.POSSIBLE SOLUTION: Caution is advised if tramadol is administered with any substance that can reduce the seizure threshold, particularly in the elderly and in patients with epilepsy, a history of seizures, or other risk factors for seizures (e.g., head trauma, brain tumor, metabolic disorders, alcohol and drug withdrawal, CNS infections). ----


Can you take Flucloxacillin and clindamycin at the same time?

No. They should not be taken together. Oxytetrcycline is bacteriostatic and amoxicillin is bacteriocidal. Given together amoxicillin goes to waste and there are chances that bacteria may develope resistance to amoxicillin.
