Résumé : | Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) abuse remains a common presentation to Accident and Emergency departments, usually in the context of deliberate self harm and overdoses. The authors present three fatal case studies of intravenous drug abusers who have subsequently found to be taking TCAs as well as intravenous street heroin. With the well known interaction and synergistic effect of opiates and TCAs the authors believe that deliberate misuse of TCAs is not unlikely by the intravenous drug abusing population.
