		<Abstract>Of all antidepressants, tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are the most toxic drugs and they are often used for suicide attempts. An 18-year-old female was admitted to the emergency department after having taken 30 tablets of Nortriptyline 50 mg in a suicide attempt. A twelve-lead electrocardiogram revealed right bundle branch block in leads V&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt;, V&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;, and V&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; as well as deep S in leads, V&lt;sub&gt;5&lt;/sub&gt;, and V&lt;sub&gt;6&lt;/sub&gt;, and tall R in AVR, which meant extreme right axis and ST elevation in leads V&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and V&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;: that raised the suspicion of the Brugada syndrome. ST elevation after TCA toxicity is a rare medical condition, and our literature review failed to find any relevant reports.</Abstract>
