If you are to remain on these meds for an extended time, it is best to have your electrocardiogram (ECG) checked periodically, especially if you have other concurrent health risk factors.

Sunnely-thanks for your advice:I did have an ecg done when I started the combination and all the intervals were within normal limits.What I really want to know is how long it is worth sticking with the doxepin to see if it will work
