Doxepin 10 Mg Withdrawel
UpdatedI was on Doxepin for a year and worked my way down to 10 mgs doctor said I could go down to10 mgs and now I am taking it every other day. What is the best wsy to come off or could I just stop it like the doctor said I could? Would like to stop if now, great drug for depression but the weight gain is really bad.

Hello, Tweety bird! How are you?
You could try just stopping, as your doctor said, or if you prefer not to, you could start skipping more days, between doses. It's really up to you, but 10mgs is a very low dose.
Have you tried anything else for depression? Prozac is known to work wonderfully, without causing the weight gain. Its other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and muscle aches.
Thank you for your reply. I have gone down to every other day 10 mgs. I really want to stop. I am feeling good just scared of having some kind of reaction to stopping it. I wanted to go down to 5 mgs but can't see the doctor till January. Do you know how long it takes to have a reaction to stopping if you do stop it cold. Is it 2 or 3 days or longer..
