Hi Kara,

Have you ever tried hydroxyzine (Atarax, Vistaril) for anxiety? It takes effect within about half an hour. At the very low dose that you're taking, doxepin has a stong antihistamine action; it's other effects are quite weak at this dose. Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine which is sometimes used to treat anxiety. For most people, hydroxyzine doesn't seem to be very effective but I thought you might like it :-) Since it takes effect quickly, it could be useful prn.

Ed.
