Doxepin? Doxepine is a common misspelling of doxepin.
Doxepin is a drug used for the treatment of depression and anxiety. Although the brand-name version is no longer being manufactured, generic doxepin is still available. The medication is thought to work by allowing certain chemicals in the brain (serotonin and norepinephrine) to stay in the brain longer, which reduces depression symptoms and anxiety. Before taking doxepin, let your healthcare provider know if you have bipolar disorder, glaucoma, epilepsy, or any allergies.
