I was thinking the same thing, that doxepin is a sedating TCA. It is adrenergic so in theory it should help with pain, but its probably not as stimulating as desipramine which could interfere with sleep.I would imagine you could add an SSRI to it if it is not cutting it for depression and anxiety. An MAO wouldn't be a bad option either but I would imagine you would still need the TCA for pain so it might make sense to try a TCA alone first.
Just a thought.
