*If a patient overdoses on an antidepressant we do not have a specific code for this.  While we can use the "other" code, I think it would be of more value to put a general antidepressant overdose code and maybe take out the tricyclic one.  (in the poisoning section).

*46300 used to be the code for sedatives/antidepressants. That's the one I used for antidepressants,however I see on are laptop it is shortened to just sedatives. I'm not sure that the code got changed or that when it was programmed on the laptop the antidepressant part got left out[[User:GHall|GHall]] 09:44, 2016 August 22 (CDT)

Discussion about code change

Template:Discussion

  • Tricyclic antidepressants have been mostly replaced by newer antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (NRIs). They occasionally use tricyclics if other meds are not working but this is rare.
  • If a patient overdoses on an antidepressant we do not have a specific code for this. While we can use the "other" code, I think it would be of more value to put a general antidepressant overdose code and maybe take out the tricyclic one. (in the poisoning section).
