Doxepine

Were you looking for information about
 Doxepin? Doxepine is a common misspelling of doxepin.
 
Doxepin (Sinequan®, Silenor®) is a drug used for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and insomnia. 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.
