I have been taken Remeron for some weeks at low dose, but eventually had to come off it bcs I couldn't sleep of it and it gave me anxious dreams.So I switched to Doxepin for 3 days now (at 25mg at night). It helps me to sleep a bit better, falling asleep is still a problem though. But the main thing that worries me is that my anxiety level is way up again :( Is this a normal starting up reaction and should I hold on to it for some period?
I also take 35mg of Amythriptiline for aver a year now but I don't notice any effect from that anymore. I once went upto 75 of Ami but was sweating thru the night. And my mood didn't get any brighter with it. So now I'm still suffering from this anxiety/depression feelings. So any advise on the Doxepin? I know that AD effects can last some weeks before it hits, but isn't the anxiolictic effect immediately noticeble?
I guess I should also mention that I have taken testosteron gel for 3 weeks (but quit now), maybe this can have caused an increase in my anxiety level?
