Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs) Mnemonic for Nursing Pharmacology (NCLEX)

Study this TCAs NCLEX mnemonic and other mnemonics with Pixorize.
Tricyclic antidepressants are a class of mental health drugs recognizable by their endings of -triptyline: like amitriptyline and nortriptyline, as well as -pramine: like clomipramine, imipramine, and desipramine. The only exception to these 2 endings is doxepin. As a class, all the TCAs are used to treat depression, as well as nerve pain from causes like diabetic neuropathy or fibromyalgia. Important side effects include orthostatic hypotension which can result in dizziness and falls, and anticholinergic effects like dry mouth, urinary retention, tachycardia, and so on. Finally, tricyclic antidepressants are lethal in overdose.

TCAs - the tricycles
Drugs names -
Drugs ending in triptyline like amitriptyline and nortriptyline (the electrician ‘tripping’)
Drugs ending in pramine like imipramine, clomipramine and desipramine (the ‘premier’)
Doxepin (the ‘Dock pin’)
Indications -
Depression (crying boy)
Nerve pain from chronic diabetic neuropathy and fibromyalgia (messy wires indicate nerve pain)
Imp side effects -
Orthostatic hypertension (dizzy electrician falling)
Anticholinergic effects like dry mouth, urinary retention, tachycardia etc.( symbolized by broken cola)
TCA over dose is lethal (the big tricycle is the one that’s falling)

I have failed 3 times, I lost my money to scams and reviews that never helped but the major thing is that I’ve not lost hope

The way I remember Imiprimine is a cat's pads being pricked. Imip = prick. Imine = feline.
