turquoise triangular tablet?

what might be this tablet that is described as turquoise and triangular shape (with curved sides)

I don't have a CPS book with the pages of pills by colour

I do have access to eCPS.

Any ideas how I could find the name of this antidepressant?

thanks

I believe Xanax XR extended release (3mg) pills are green and triangular shaped, but I don't know if I would call them turquoise. Also they're an anxiolytic, not an anti-depressant. Not sure if this helps, but it's worth a shot!

Tranxene is a blue triangle shaped pill. Antianxiety.. really old drug

You might also check out www.drugs.com . They have a pill identifier page as well as a discussion forum devoted to pill identification.

The 3 mg tab might fit your description although I think it's more of a blue. Are there any markings, letters, or numbers on it?

don't know about markings, letters, etc on the tablet because the only description that I have is that it is turquoise, triangular with sort of curved sides

(thanks for the links - these are really helpful)

the retired doctor who was trying to remember this pill - has today said that it is "dexamyl"

so I've looked up dexamyl on the internet, because I couldn't find it in the eCPS

it is described as a combination of dextroamphetamine and amobarbital, so it is both a stimulant and a depressant.

other sources said it is no longer available

that it is for depression with individuals who are verbally inhibited

Thanks for the followup Gingersue.

Ends the mystery of the turquoise triangular tablet-good work!
