Specification:	N-3-(5h-Dibenzo(A,D)Cyclohepten-5-Yl)Propyl-N-Methylamine (CAS NO.438-60-8) (Vivactil) is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA), specifically a secondary amine, indicated for depression and ADHD. Unique among the TCAs, protriptyline tends to be energizing instead of sedating, and it is sometimes used in narcolepsy to achieve a wakefulness-promoting effect.[citation needed] (the other TCAs tend to be sedating and therefore are often taken in the evening).
