What is another word for tricyclics?
Pronunciation: [tɹa͡ɪsˈa͡ɪklɪks] (IPA) 
Tricyclics are a class of antidepressant drugs that have been used for decades to treat depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders. The term "tricyclics" comes from the three-ring structure of the chemical compound that makes up these drugs. Some common synonyms for tricyclics include cyclic antidepressants, TCAs, and triazabicyclodecanes. These terms all refer to the same class of medications and are used interchangeably in medical literature and discussions. While tricyclics have been effective for many patients, they do come with potential side effects and risks, and newer medications have since been developed that can be more effective or have fewer side effects.
