Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. Dosage depends on your condition and response to treatment. Never adjust your dosage without consulting your physician.
Common side effects include drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision. These usually lessen as your body adjusts. Drink plenty of fluids and consider over-the-counter remedies for constipation if needed. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how Doxepin affects you.
Serious side effects are rare, but require immediate medical attention. These include difficulty breathing, chest pain, seizures, or severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, itching). Seek emergency care if you experience any of these.
Doxepin interacts with several medications. Inform your doctor and pharmacist about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you’re taking. This prevents potentially dangerous interactions.
Alcohol consumption should be minimized while taking Doxepin due to increased drowsiness risk. Avoid activities requiring alertness if you consume alcohol.
Store Doxepin capsules at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep them out of reach of children and pets.
