The symptoms of TCAs overdoses include agitation, confusion, hallucinations, hypertonicity, seizures, and EKG changes. The half-life of TCA varies from a few hours to several days. The commonly used TCAs are excreted with a very low percentage of unchanged drugs in the urine. Therefore, detection of the metabolites of TCAs in human urine has been used for screening the abuse of TCAs.
