User Reviews for doxepin oral

Been on it for about 4 yrs. It has helped overall with virtualy no side effects. It has not worked as well lately. It still helps with the depression but not the insomnia or the neuropthy ( nerve pain ). I may have to change to another medicine my doctor agrees.

severe heart burn bloating gas and gastritis after taking this medication

just started taking it my first night i got to sleep in about 40 minutes after taking it at 11:00 pm and i slept until one o'clock pm pretty good !

I still woke up several times during the night. I was very sleepy all the next day and had to take a nap.

PANIC ATTACTS

This is the only medication that has given me a full, peaceful night's sleep, without leaving me groggy the entire next day. I have had insomnia since I was 13 & have tried everything it seems like. Most recently, I had taken Ambien, Lunesta, Trazadone & Seroquel. Never slept longer than 4 hours, 5 if I was lucky & was walking around sluggish the next day. My psychiatrist started me on 150mg, it was too much. He then cut the dosage in half, not enough. I'm now on 100mg & it works like a charm! I wake up bright eyed & ready to go! Read More Read Less

too sleepy

i feel that this drug has helped me tremendously. iam sleeping nights and my mood has improved greatly.

I have gained ten pounds in a little more than a month.It has helped my depression.I take it at bedtime to sleep I do not like the weight increase.I stay short of breath and I still feel tired the next day.

I am sleeping better and not having irratic racing thoughts nite & day

I have been on this drug for ten years and it has worked wonderfully for me. After years of trying other drugs for depression this did the job. You DO have to ride through the sleepy side effects and dry mouth. It does become better and can make you happy again.

I have chronic insomna due to Fibromyagliavand Lupus. I starting taking 75mg and it hasn't helped so the doctor has me on 125mg and it isn't helping. I still wake up at night, so I am going up to 175mg and see how that does. I it does make u hunger. I am starting the 150mg tonight so we will see how that does.

suppose to help me sleep,,but first night I still staed up to 4:30 am

i was given doxapin for sleep i now have a p;problem i get up to go to the bathroom and i fall and can't seem to get up this happens every nite

I have had a return of panic attakcs and general anxiety and this drug has helped me a great deal. I was on celexa for 14 years but it apparently stopped working. I was switched to lexapro but see no effect. On the other hand, doxepin has been great! I use it in the evenings in conjunction with Klonopin for sleep and I enjoy the period of relaxation between administration and sleep. I am going to ask for an increase in the dosage (now on 50 mgs) to help with daytime anxiety. If you have to use an ad or drugs for anxiety, you may as well enjoy the experience! Read More Read Less

Didn't Sleep much,restless sleep Strange feelings the next day

This drug made me feel angry all the time. If I wasnt angry I was crying. It was no help with my OCD issues either. It worked great for sleep, too good, it was hard getting up in the mornings. I dont recommend this drug.

it is not helping me at all. i still pick my fingers.ocd.
