Sinequan

Sinequan is an anti-depressant medication of the tricyclic class. Medications in this class are often referred to as tricyclic anti-depressants, or TCAs. Depression is an all-pervasive sense of sadness and gloom. In some patients with depression, abnormal levels of neurotransmitters (chemicals that the nerve cells use to communicate with each other) may be the cause of the depression. Nortriptyline elevates mood by raising the level of neurotransmitters in the brain.

Sinequan is used to elevate the mood of patients with depression. Nortriptyline is also a sedative and is useful in depressed patients with insomnia, restlessness, and nervousness. It also has been found to be helpful for treating chronic pain and the pain of neuralgia.
