In reply to more about doxepin? st.james.john L or anyone, posted by Julia on December 10, 2000, at 4:45:54
AD's take 6-8 weeks for the antidepressant effect
to start so it is normal at 4 weeks to feel like nothing
is happining. The TCA's are still our most effective AD's
for signifivcant depression so you should give doxipin it's
full course, at least 8 weeks. Since you did not mention
bad side effects you seem to be tolerating doxipin well.
It's always worth sticking with a med that causes few side effects.Mellaril is OK short term, it also has AD effect. Long term you
should move to a newer AP. The side effect profile, both minor
and major, is better is something like Zyprexa.James
