> Thanks lucie, that was very helpful. I have some 25mg capsules, so I might start out at that dose or a bit lower. I was on 300mg trazodone years ago as an antidepressant/sleep aid and it was very sedating. It caused sinus congestion though and tended to leave me feeling suffocated and gasping for air, so I didn't sleep too peacefully on it. I've never taken amitriptyline, but years ago I was on dothiepin (which I think is very similar), and it helped a lot with my mood and sleep so I'm hoping doxepin is in the same league.

4. a very good augmentor to whatever ad you're on. use a laxative because it's constipating
5. more balanced than a ssri...se and ne
