Amolox 50mg (generic amoxapine) 50 tablets

Amoxapine is a Tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) and is used in the treatment of major depressive disorder.

Compared to other antidepressants amoxapine is believed to have a faster onset of action, with therapeutic effects seen within four to seven days. In excess of 80% of patients that do respond to amoxapine are reported to respond within two weeks of the beginning of treatment.
It also has properties similar to those of the atypical antipsychotics, and may behave as one and may be used in the treatment of schizophrenia off-label.

Despite its apparent lack of extrapyramidal side effects in patients with schizophrenia it has been found to exacerbate motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson’s disease and psychosis.

Amoxapine is considered particularly toxic in overdose, with a high rate of renal failure (which usually takes 2–5 days), rhabdomyolysis, coma, seizures and even status epilepticus.
