Linealdream - sorry to harp on this, but I really want to know if you're saying you got your T from taking doxepin. I have to make a decision about this drug, and I wasn't enitrely clear what you...

I think so, yes - it's been a long time - and if it's what I think it is, it's really not solving the benzo problem, as it's another short-term (7-10 days), addictive drug. Thanks, though. Loop

i took doxepin and detected a very faint anti anxiety effect, but not much. it is a tricyclic for sleep and depression.
View ArticleRe: Doxepin
Right. That's what I want it for. I'm not suffering from anxiety problems. Or if I am, I'm not aware of them, which amounts to the same thing I suppose. The T distresses me, but not in a panic/anxiety...

Loop, Have you looked into Lunesta? It's the only drug approved by the FDA (up to now) for long term use as a spleep aid. I have the same sensitivities as you do to SSRI's, TCA's (they increase my...

Loop, Yes. Zopiclone does have a potential for dependence but it seems the FDA must have concluded this dependence risk to be less than benzodiazepines since it approved it for long term use. I had...

Loop, I wonder if starting at a very very low dose of an A/D, perhaps 1/10 of the normal prescription (or maybe even less) and slowly titrate up would help. Perhaps it's the shock of the initial A/D...

That's what I'm contemplating, but it got to the point the last time I tried nortriptyline that even the smallest dose would cause an increase. I'm thinking I might bite the bullet and try this stuff...

No, Stablon still isn't available here, and no sign of it on the horizon.I think I might try the Doxepin at a very low dose. Pamelor and Elabil (nortryp and amitryp) are chemically similar, as I...
