The only antidepressant I did well on that I've tried is amoxapine. My pdoc just started me on doxepin to help with sleep and depression, and I take the first dose tonight. She said there is a small chance it might make me manic. I've been having some pretty intense emotional lability lately that may or not be indicative of an incoming episode. I'm still overall depressed, but I have hours/a day here and there where I feel like I just smoked crack for the first time (euphoric, feel like I can do anything, racing thoughts, etc.)

I'm just scared it's going to make me manic like most antidepressants I've tried (but those were SSRIs). But doxepin is a tricyclic AD like amoxapine which didn't make me manic so I'm probably good, right?

(Mods please don't move this)
