Abstract

Background: Quetiapine is a dibenzothiazepine antipsychotic whose chemical structure is similar to the tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). We report the first incidence of a false positive immunoassay for TCAs associated with elevated quetiapine levels. Case Report: A 36-year-old woman ingested 15 grams of quetiapine and developed obtundation, hypotension, tachycardia, and prolonged QT interval. On admission, a urine enzyme immunoassay (Beckman Coulter SYNCHRON LX20) was positive for tricyclic antidepressants. The patient had no history of depression and was not taking antidepressants or cyclobenzaprine. A thorough search of her home revealed no medications other than quetiapine. A comprehensive serum drug screen for 250 analytes revealed no detectable levels of any analytes including TCAs. Gas chromatography/Mass spectrometry of a serum sample revealed no detectable levels of the tricyclic antidepressants, amitriptyline, clomipramine, doxepin, imipramine, trimipramine, desipramine, nortriptyline or protripyline and no detectable cyclobenzaprine. Conclusion: We report a false positive immunoassay for TCAs in the setting of a quetiapine overdose. This false positive may be due to the fact that substantial structural similarities exist between quetiapine and the tricyclic antidepressants. Physicians should be aware of quetiapine as a possible cause for false positive TCA assays., Hendrickson RG, Morocco AP, Greenberg MI.
