"i started taking doxepin for depression and insomnia. it seems to work good for both. i have not experienced any side effects so far.i  had been taking zoloft for depression and felt like a robot, no feelings at all. i take 2, 10mg at night about an hour before i&#039;m ready to go to sleep. if i don&#039;t go to sleep, i take 1 more. so far i&#039;m happy with the medicine as it works for depression and insomnia."
