I just started on a small amount of doxepin a few days ago and I'm already seeing amazing results. My anxiety was so bad that I was not able to eat or sleep - the only things I managed to consume were Gatorade and Ensure. Also, I was starting to get agoraphobic. Now I'm eating and sleeping again. I'd say that my anxiety is about 90% under control. I don't know why this isn't used more for anxiety. Maybe because it's old, it's cheap, it's dirty and it's not terribly lucrative for the drug companies. It's not a long-term solution for me but it will enable me to tolerate other medications that I've been unable to tolerate recently because they were too stimulating.
There is no question here. I just wanted others to know about this option if they're having a lot of trouble with anxiety.
