| 5 | Chronic pain patient helps to sleep | If I miss my night time dosage 25 mg my body knows it and I sleep maybe 3 hours (but very restless). Lack of sleep equals more pain the next day. | Very effective for sleep. Never had a weight gain issue. | F | 46 | 5 years | 4/28/2006 | 1 | PANIC ATTACKS/MANIC DEPRESSION | SERIOUS WEIGHT GAIN ALONG WITH A FEW OTHER UNPLEASANTRIES | NEVER AGAIN. | F | 37 | 4 months | 3/28/2006 | 5 | chronic urticaria | Drowsiness and weight gain | Using Doxepin in combination with Tagament to help subdue hives. Usually works well, but I have had to make the occasional trip to urgent care for a steroid and adreneline shot in addition to the Doxepin. Nothing else works..tried Benedryl, Claritin, Zyrtec, Atarax and steriods. | F | 32 | 4 months | 6/2/2005 | 5 | Anxiety and mild depression | At first, it was difficult to fight the drowsiness and increased cravings for food. But with some time, after having worked my dosage up to 250mg daily, somnolence and increased appetite disappeared. My anxiety subsided markedly and my mood was elevated, as well as my energy levels. | You should give this drug at least a month before you decline it - all uncomfortable side effects disappear and it is, in my opinion, a very potent anxiolytic. | M | 21 | 4 months | 5/17/2005 | 4 | anxiety | dry mouth in the morning, and light-headed upon quick standing | The minor side effects were worth the quality of life I had received since taking 75 mg at night. I was able to enjoy the things I had been missing for years | F | 25 | 6 years | 3/25/2005 | 5 | help sleep due to pain disorder | sleepy | helps me sleep due to a a pain disorder. | F | 36 | 4 years | 11/1/2004 | 4 | Problems with sleeping | None, as long as I take a very tiny amount | Before I took this drug, I would wake up around 2 AM and not be able to go back to sleep. I would just lie there and worry about anything.... If I take 10 or 20 mg at bedtime, I sleep all night and if I wake up to go to the bathroom, I am able to go back to sleep as soon as I get back in bed. It has really helped me a lot with this problem. | F | 61 | 12 years | 4/30/2004 | 4 | mainly sleep problems, some anxiety | May have increased acid reflux; something did. It's hard to say... nothing really major has gone wrong with me since I started it. | It didn't make me drowsy, but after a few weeks I was able to sleep again without waking up so much, so I assume it was the Sinequan. I'm thinking of cutting down or even discontinuing it, though, since there are risks associated with it. | F | 49 | 9 months | 4/23/2004 | 1 | sleep aid | buzzing feeling, didnt wake up til 1045 the next day..took 24hrs to sleep it off. unbalanced and felt drunk...just awful | F | 30 | 1 days | 9/16/2003 | 4 | help with sleep | F | 38 | 5 months | 3/12/2003 |
