User Reviews for Doxepin

I was prescribed Doxepin for an unexplained skin condition that causes me a lot of itching and lack of sleep. I only take one 10mg capsule two hours before bed. I have been on it for one week. Knocks me out after about two hours of taking it. I wake up a tiny bit sleepy but do not have the harsh drowsiness during the day from other drugs. I have noticed a major increase in my appetite. After reading other comments I found this is normal. So far it has not helped with the itching at all but has helped me get a good nights sleep which has improved my lifestyle. Still unsure how I feel about it overall. Read More Read Less

I have cirrhosis and the itching keeps me up all night. The doxepin puts me to sleep and stay asleep. I love it.

I have been on this drug on and off since 1976. It has saved my life. For whatever the reason, I found that the brand name drug, Sinequan works better for my symptoms than the generic drug.This was confirmed by my psychiatrist, who told me that there is a difference between some generic drugs and brand names. Unfortunately, Pfizer, which produced the drug, no longer offers the it. I am now taking the generic form, and it is helpful, but not as much as the original. I have a spastic colon as well for which the brand name worked miracles.Read More Read Less

Amazing. Super quick results. This puts me out quick; although my hunger has increased. I would sugest it to anyone suffering from anyone who cannot sleep..

I was prescribed doxepin for insomia. I have taken 3 other prescribed meds for insomia and did not work. I have been taking doxepin for 4 days now. The 1st day after taking the 1st dose, I was real shakey, off balanced, really sleepy, dizzy, light headed, thirsty and hungry! I'm still real hungry and I'm eating a lot. I sleep about 4-5 hours now (was 2-3) and real drowsey in the mornings. I'm going to give the drug more time to work but may need to come off doxepin if I can not get my hunger under control.Read More Read Less

I have wide range pain and problems sleeping.This drug has worked very well for me.I have been taking it fore 7 years.This drug does not cost alot of money.

not on it long enough to come to a conclusion

NO SLEEP HEADACHES IBS

i have weight gain ,severe bloating, difficult to get up in morning,very sad

I take it as well for insomnia but I suffer from itching, too. I take 10mg as prescribe for me to take one or two at bedtime. I am content with the results with choosing to take one regularly than taking two.

I received relief from my anxiety almost immediately. The fact that it's non habit forming is a big plus for me as I'm in recovery and can't take anything that I could develope a dependence on.

I started on Doxepin 10mg. due to lack of sleep associated with taking Prozac. I have suffered in the past with insomia, panic attacks etc due to being a caregiver for family. I have gained some weight but overall it really helps me sleep.

I was prescribed this med. because I had trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep. It has worked very well for me.

A Rhumtologist gave me this drug for fibromyalgia several years ago to help me get a good rest, which he said was important with fibro. It has worked fine with a few exceptions when I was stressed and needed to take a valium to settle down in order to sleep. This was not often. But my psychiatrist took me off of it about a month ago all at once, not tapered. I had terrible pain in my legs and get only 3-4 hrs. of sleep at night. I didn't know it had anything to do with my 100 pound weight gain in the past 10 years. Right now I'm coping.Read More Read Less

ok

I started on Doxepin in 1976 and have taken it for most of that time. I sleep very well at night, and am relieved of problems of insomnia. I take 300 mg at bedtime every day. Weight gain a problem. I tried many other anti-depressants and had poor results with them. I am also very much helped with Problems of depression.
