What Is Doxepin Used For?

Off-Label Doxepin Uses

On occasion, your healthcare provider may recommend doxepin for treating something other than depression. This is called an "off-label" use. At this time, there are several off-label doxepin uses, such as the treatment of the following conditions:
 
  • Chronic pain, especially nerve pain (neuropathic pain)
  • Insomnia
  • Migraine headaches
  • Itchy rashes (due to the antihistamine-like actions of doxepin).
