agitating side effects, sweating, dilated pupils, tachycardia, anxiety, insomnia etc.
For TCAs, the dilated pupils are not caused by the NE, they're caused by anticholinergic effects just as Benadryl would.
The tachycardia may or may not be caused by that too.
The rest I agree would be attributable to the NE, except the sweating part -- that is more unique to TCAs, but sometimes with some people with a few of the more "unclean" SSRIs... I'm not quite sure on that one.
