| 5 | depression and anxiety | weight gain which I needed but my breasts hurt and are huge now | not sure after reading all these comments, but I have been on every anti depressant out there and this one seems like side effects very little | F | 47 | 2 years 50 1X day | 7/2/2018 | 5 | P.T.S.D. +Depressive anxiety | Borderline scizoeffective DISORDER caused by P.T.S.D. + DEPRESSIVE ANXIETY I/E brought on by abuses as a child. | Doxepin has helped . Started at 100 mg . Now only 50 mg . I have gotten the full benifits of this drug . I've learned how to control what is happening in the dreams I do have . It used to be nightmares, until Doxepin cleared the fog of war. I don't find myself hidding in closets , or under stuff any more . Today , even when I miss a dose , there is no anxiety. No fear of freak outs. The junk that use to worry me , has been dealt with. I had to do the actual work, and studying myself . No pill can take the place of learning to overcome ones own attitudes, and fears ,doubts and short comings. Humility and honest integrity are key . If a person can be driven to insanity, they can also learn to walk back to true sanity. If they are willing to do the daily work. Don't be lazy! Get off the pittyme pot. Live , and take my challenge to LOVE, and Love again . Brother David Lindon Harris MOBILE Alabama U.S.A. 36605 | M | 51 | 15 years 50 mg | 10/21/2017 | 5 | Insomnia | Dry mouth. Morning drowsiness. | Doxepin helps with maintaining my sleep without early morning awakenings. Also, its anticholinergic effect helps my irritable colon. A couple of cups of coffee cures the morning drowsiness. | M | 69 | 5 years 50 MG 1X day | 6/24/2017 | 5 | Depression and sleeplessness | Wondering if my sweet cravings are attributed to taking this medication | F | 53 | 28 years 50 mg | 6/10/2017 | 5 | anxiety, depression, to sleep | Sleeping long hours at first and unable to concentrate on 25mg. dose. The effects became very tolerable after a month or so, years ago now. Weight gain subsided after a few months. | Lilly made this as sinequan years ago and it was very potent but Mylan has been making it here in US and is reasonably priced. Great for hives. Silenor is a new version but it is expensive. | M | 67 | 30 years 150 mg 1X day | 8/20/2016 | 5 | INSOMNIA | NO side effects other than sleeping 7-8 hours at night and feeling energetic the next day! | I have had insomnia for 7 years and have tried everything, natural and prescription, out there. Finally only 6mg. of DOXEPIN ELIXIR has me sleeping 7-8 hours at night. In low doses (10mg and under, but usually 3-6mg), it is a very potent anti-histamine and is VERY safe to use long term. I am finally sleeping like a baby and feel like a new person!! Yay! | M | 51 | 2 months 1X day | 3/7/2016 | 5 | Because I had pressure in head, anx | Has been good for me many years but now down to 10 mg nightly-have started getting bad pressure in head- not sure if I should not take it at all tonight | 1 days Started 45 | 1/7/2016 | 5 | SLEEP DISORDER ANXIETY | No side effects | This medication saved my life -- spent years with little and restless sleep Now is sleep nomally --- if i ever forget to take it -- i simply dont sleep | M | 58 | 30 years 10MG 1X day | 11/9/2015 | 5 | Anxiety,Depression | Very Mild side effects. | I am from the UK and I have been using doxepin for 19 years, It works for me. My issue is. IS ANYBODY HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING HOLD OF THE DRUG FROM YOUR LOCAL CHEMIST IN THE UK ?????? ARE SUPPLYS IN SHORT DEMAND, ????? DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS OF DOXEPIN SEEM TO HAVE DIFFERENT EFFECTS. ???? Please message me if you are a doxepin user and you have encountered any of these issues. Also, I fear that us long term users may have issues of getting hold of the drug, basically because of the cost. This is a very expensive drug and some manufacturers and suppliers are shying away from this drug. Us doxepin users may have to stick together to get the results we need. Please message me. | M | 51 | 19 years 100mg 1X day | 11/5/2015 | 5 | Sleep3-5mg | Take lowest dose 3-5mg 1-2hrs before bedtime sublingual. Bitter taste distracts from too much thinking. Sleep yummy, nice dreams. Wake up good coffee and another great day undeerway. | Super cheap effective sleep med for me. No wt gain. I am buff and love fierce excersize! | M | 53 | 1 years 3-5mg | 9/1/2015 | 5 | For migraine prevention. | No side effects so far. | F | 60 | 10 days 50mg | 7/11/2015 | 5 | depression | I have been taking it for 30 years which has enabled me to lead a normal life as opposed to being crippled with anxiety, depression and panic atracks. Its worked brilliantly for me | 67 | 10 years 125mg | 3/21/2015 | 5 | Early Awakening Syndrome | I haven't had any side effects in 10 years. But I only take the equivalent to 3 mg, enough to keep me asleep. | I used to wake up after only 4 hours of sleep. I was tired and had no energy. After a few tests, my doctor diagnosed me with Early Awakening Syndrome, which means that you fall asleep but cannot stay asleep. I only need 10 drops and I only take the liquid form. While leaving abroad, I was prescribed the pill form and I had to break it into 3 parts because if I took the full 10 mg I couldn't wake up and felt drowsy all day long. | F | 56 | 10 years 10 drops 1X day | 11/17/2014 | 5 | M | 3 months | 8/2/2013 | 5 | Fibromyalgia-not sleeping | I don't notice side effects because this medication has been a godsend. I do have better luck w/elixir. The capsules don't seem to absorb in me like the elixir does | F | 48 | 8 years 3ml elixir | 6/2/2013 | 5 | hives and angioederma | some dry mouth and increased appetite, sligh blurring vision. | After suffering from hives and angioederma for the last twenty years i found an immunologist that prscribed tis medication for me and I can only say that ther has nevr been anything else that I have taken that has given me the relief that Doxepin has. As others have stated the prdnisone, atarax, zyrtec stopped having any effect. Any side effects are well worth the results. | M | 70 | 40 days 100 1X day | 2/21/2013 | 5 | Bad hives | BAD weight gain, tired in the morning, crave sweets, dry mouth, and I believe some memory loss...can't remember! | Six doctors searched for a year to find out why I had horrible hives all the time. It was given to me as "just try it"... and it worked! I have zero flare ups when I am on it, but as soon as I don't take it...the hives are back! I have put on 50 - 60 pounds over the past 4 years and would love to try somethig else that works just as good. I hate being fat...but the hives were worse. I have to take it every night an hour before I go to bed and I will sleep ALL night...but if I try to get of off it, I can't sleep at all. | M | 43 | 4 years 50 MG 1X day | 4/11/2012 | 5 | Insomnia | I was tired for the first 2 days, but now wake up feeling pretty good. | This is a wonder drug for me. For years I have been waking up around 2:00 A.M., and lay awake for up to 2 hours. I would be tired all day, and fall asleep in the evening. Now, I sleep through the night. If I wake up, I can roll over and get right back to sleep. I dream every night, which I have never done. No nightmares. I get 7-8 hours most nights, and often sleep through my wife's alarm, which used to wake me up easily. Great stuff - wish I had discovered this years ago. | M | 51 | 3 months 50 mg 1X day | 12/29/2011 | 5 | depression, anxiety, insomnia | I've been on a low dose for several years. This drug helps me a lot with irritability and insomnia..however the withdrawal from this med is a monster. It's a bit like having a migraine without the pain after several days off the drug. Extreme irritability can also be an issue when abruptly discontinuing the drug. Biggest issue is that even the lowest dose leaves me groggy and I can only take it when I have a regular sleep schedule. | Effective drug but should only be taken if the side effects can be tolerated and for those who have a stable schedule. | F | 40 | 2 years 5 mg 1X day | 9/2/2011 | 5 | anxiety | weight gain, appetite | good med | M | 40 | 7 years 75 1X day | 8/25/2011 |
