Protriptyline
Protriptyline, sold under the brand name Vivactil among others, is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA), specifically a secondary amine, indicated for the treatment of depression and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

wHAT DOES 5 MG OF ORANGE GENERIC VIVACTIL HAVE ON IT ## Hello, Kateland! How are you? According to the FDA database, there are 3 of them. One is oval, orange and has an OP over 701. Another is round, orange and has an E logo on one side and 4 on the other, another is round, orange and has E96 on it. I think the one your looking at is the one with the E logo and 4 on the opposite side. If you turn it sideways, the stylized E looks like an M. The FDA classifies this medication as a tricyclic antidepressant. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, mood swings and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

My husband has Narcolepsy and has started taking Nuvigil. He has been on Methadone for almost two months now.H e complains that he feels bad by evening time. Is it one of the drugs or mixing them? He also takes Vivactil and Ritalin. He feels jittery, tired and nausated. Please help. ## Speaking from personal experience... Ritalin and Provigil didn't mix for me. Granted that was Provigil. I've recently started Nuvigil, and can not tell if I am having holiday anxiety or a reaction to my Nuvigil. My feeling is slight pressurized headache, tightness in chest, mild vision blur, very pressurized feeling in chest and sides of throat and anxiety. Checked my BP and is 180/80. Norm for me is around 130/85 w/bistolic. He may want to monitor his BP if he's feeling tired and nauseous ## ...
