I gain weight fairly easily, and I know that doxepin makes me gain weight, even in very small doses (less than 10mg/day).

The weight comes on even if I do not eat any more or exercize any less. I tried doxepin again hoping that the dexedrine would offset the weight gain, but even at 5mg/day I would gain.

Nothing yet has worked as well for sleep. Anyone know what are the most potent hypnotics?
