Trimipramine , sold under the brand name Surmontil among others, is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) which is used to treat depression .[ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9] It has also been used for its sedative , anxiolytic , and weak antipsychotic effects in the treatment of insomnia , anxiety disorders , and psychosis , respectively.[ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9] The drug is described as an atypical or "second-generation" TCA because, unlike other TCAs, it seems to be a fairly weak monoamine reuptake inhibitor .[ 10] Similarly to other TCAs, however, trimipramine does have antihistamine , antiserotonergic , antiadrenergic , antidopaminergic , and anticholinergic activities.[ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9]
