Finally something that helped me sleep through the night. After always being awake at 2am, the medication was vital! Now I’m pregnant, I’m still taking the medication, but now I realise that either the effect is wearing off or I’m sleeping badly because of the pregnancy? I had been taking 4 mg up to now, the doctor thinks I might increase the dose to 6 mg.
This medication is really great!
I’ve already tried various antidepressants and neuroleptics.
2 hours after taking doxepin I feel calm in my head and tiredness sets in.
I experienced a severe allergic reaction that resulted in widespread redness, swelling, and itching. My throat would constrict to the point where I couldn’t breathe. Despite being admitted to the hospital, the doctors were unable to determine the cause. An allergist prescribed doxepin to manage these reactions, which proved effective. They also provided me with an EPI pen in case of a severe reaction that might obstruct my breathing. A month later, I had a similar allergic reaction after taking ibuprofen, a medication I had previously taken without issues. When I attempted to stop taking doxepin for a week, the allergic reactions returned. Consequently, I continue to take doxepin every night. An added benefit is that it also serves as an excellent sleep aid.
