Hello, Deb! How are you?

Yes, the FDA classifies Doxepin as a tricyclic antidepressant and it's been shown to be effective at treating various types of depression.

Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache and weight changes.

However, the only way to see if it will help you is by trying it.

Is there anything else I can help with?
