Amoxapine is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) used in the treatment of major depressive disorder. It acts primarily by inhibiting the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin. Amoxapine was approved for use in depression, but its use has declined due to the development of newer antidepressants and concerns about side effects.
