"i had suffered an unspeakable event a few months agoif you think of your worst thought, this was worse. i&#039;ve never been depressed or on any psyc meds in my life. i went about 6 weeks sleeping, perhaps 2 hours per night. i  awakened  with nightmares of the event. i tried ambien, which made me fall asleep, but i&#039;d only get 3 hours of sleep on a good night, usually less,  awakened by nightmares.  the doc give me doxepin 100mg capsules.  i slept 16 hours straight! i now take 100mg about 30 minutes before bed and sleep 6-8 hours and most importantly,  i don&#039;t have nightmares. i don&#039;t remember any dreams and i don&#039;t have the &quot;hangover&quot; ambien gave me. this drug has been a miracle for me literally"
