In reply to anyone familiar with Doxepin?, posted by CarolAnn on September 21, 2000, at 7:51:46

CarolAnn..Good old PubMed. I took Doxepin for a year or two in the late 80's and don't remember having many problems with it. I know stjames took it at higher doses and for a longer period of time than I did.
If I'm not mistaken, Amitriptyline, which I took for years in the 80's is used for pain mgmt also.
I was taking almost the max dose of Amitrip for years. Had, and acted on, big old cravings for chocolate!! Amitrip worked well for me and really gave me enthusiasm for exercise so I didn't just keep gaining and gaining.
James will have more info as far as Doxepin acting on H1 receptors, etc.
Hope this helps some,
Phil
