Can i take 20 mg of doxepin for sleep?

Please be careful with sleep medications. It is always safer to confirm the exact dosage with your doctor before taking it tonight.

Actually, I have been having very bad sleep lately too. Is doxepin something that a doctor easily prescribes, or does it have a lot of side effects?

Beta, these modern sleeping pills are very strong and habit-forming. Try drinking warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg before bed, it is much safer for the body than 20mg of chemical pills.

Self-medicating with these psychiatric drugs can lead to long-term dependency, which means expensive doctor consultations and therapy costs later. Better to pay for one proper doctor visit now and get the right dose prescribed.

I am so tired I could sleep on a clothesline, but I still wouldn't take 20mg of doxepin without checking. That stuff is strong, you might wake up tomorrow afternoon thinking it's still yesterday.

My doctor prescribed me a very low dose of doxepin (around 3mg to 6mg) for sleep maintenance. 20mg sounds quite high for just insomnia, so please verify the dose with your doctor first.
