"it works tremendously well on insomnia and really does help on maintaining a normalcy in everyday life. sleeping a lot at first, which in my case was a good thing. it&#039;s not the best for uplifting depression and doesn&#039;t help in taking away anxiety or panic attacks. the side affects for me was being easily bothered &amp; hostal/angry. will pass if you continue taking as directed,but each time you stop n then start again the experience starts over. but keep in mind,side affects vary and its different for each  of us. what works for one might not work for another. i&#039;ve been taking sinequan/doxepin for over two decades."
