A simplified gas chromatographic method for the rapid measurement of tricyclic antidepressant drugs in plasma using a nitrogen-sensitive detector is described. All drugs are extracted and chromatographed under identical conditions. Tertiary amines are separated from their secondary amine metabolites, which are determined simultaneously without the need for derivatisation. The lower limit of accurate determination for most drugs is 10 microgram/1. The method has been applied to the routine measurement of amitriptyline and nortriptyline in plasma from patients receiving antidepressant treatment. Large and important interindividual differences in plasma concentrations in the patients investigated have been found, and the significance of these results is discussed.
