In reply to Increased Appetite from Amitrip. vs. Doxepin » Chloe, posted by fachad on June 25, 2002, at 20:52:23
I have been taking doxepin for 3 weeks now and have gained over 10 pounds! Yikes! I want to eat everything in site! I eat a meal, and still don't feel satisfied, even tho I know that i HAVE to be full but signals not working properly! Anyone else having same problems? I don't normally eat all the time but since taking doxepin, I eat like a horse! I am taking this for sleep, without taking something I stay up and/or toss and turn all night long without much sleep. Only good thing, Doxepin does put me to sleep but when I wake up I am starving! This is highly unusual for me! Any suggestions for trying something else that doesn't have this side effect? Also, I have noticed I am retaining fluid on doxepin and my stomach feels like I am getting an ulcer again. I have tried deseryl, worked for awhile, I have tried atarax, the lowest dose, and felt drugged all day long.
Somebody please give me some advise on what to try! I am bipolar II, rapid cycler. Taking celexa, klonapin and sinequin.
Thanks for everyones input!
