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.

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)

considering this is specific to nursing probably not

[@lynnhakala6336]

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

[@charlottealicia1980]

@lynn Hakala I’m sorry for your plight my friend but I was once in your shoes before I wee recommend to Mrs Charlotte and that’s how I passed Nclex

[@lucymagaritha9449]

I only studied a lot when I went for the first time last year at the second time was so easy, all thanks to my aunt who introduced me to Mrs Charlotte I’m really grateful

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