This medicine is used in the treatment of depression, panic disorders and bipolar disorder.

Amoxapine is in a class of drugs called tricyclic antidepressants. Tricyclic antidepressants work by changing the balance of naturally occurring chemicals in the brain that regulate the transmission of nerve impulses between cells.

Amoxapine acts primarily by increasing the concentration of norepinephrine and serotonin (both chemicals that stimulate nerve cells) and, to a lesser extent, by blocking the action of another brain chemical, acetylcholine.
