I'm a 58 year old woman taking Doxepin for sleep. I have tried everything but Ambien. Now my doctor prescribed this. The 1st night it worked well, 2nd night it didn't work at all. I have been tired all day. I'm on the 6 mg dose. Anyone else taking Doxepin for sleep? Have you liked it or is there something better? Help. I can't take this any longer.

I wouldn't worry to much about Doxepin dependability. I never really miss it, take 200mgs a night,then I don't take them. I may wake up a lot, but can get back to sleep, I've never felt any real withdrawal from Doxepin at large doses

I have been on doxepin 150mg for 3 months. Now I'm on 75mg doxepin and taking 1mg clonex for the anxiety. I need to know how to continue tapering down the doxepin?

Theresa,

Hi, I take 100mgs a night, takes about 1 hour to really get sleepy. You will have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning until your adjused to it. Hope this helps.

Hello, Theresa! How are things?

I have never taken it myself, but Doxepin is actually now considered to be both a tricyclic and an anxiolytic medication.

Like other medications in this class, it usually takes 4 to 6 weeks to reach its full level of effectiveness.

Its common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, hypotension and erectile dysfunction.
