Do any of the antidepressants show on a urine drug screen?

Tricyclics : Tricyclic antidepressants are tested for on hospital based drug screens. The types of antidepressants generally do not show up on drug screens or cause false positives.

Depends: Most typical urine drug screens don't test for antidepressants, particularly those done in workplace settings. But in many emergency room setting, urine screens often test for the "older" antidepressants known as tricyclics(think of amitriptyline, nortriptyline and imipramine).

No: The routine drug screens look for drugs of abuse and not antidepressants.
