"oh dear. i thought i would give doxepin a try just to compare it to my usual low dose of amitriptyline and see if i slept any better. i lasted on this (25mg) just one night, and with less than an hour of sleep. it felt more like a stimulant for me and at one stage i thought i might be experiencing a nasty frightening panic attack. i don&#039;t know what is was but it didn&#039;t agree with me. i find low dose elavil very sedating next to doxepin (and more sedating than mirtazapine). i have never tried trazodone. best of luck. :)"
