I have also used Doxepin and it worked well. The key to taking Doxepin is the dose needs to stay 10mg or less for it to work. I took it in combination with Klonopin but it was the Doxepin that made me sleep, not the klonopin because if I just took Klonopin, I couldn't ever sleep. Hope everything works out for you!

I start with 50 mg if I am still awake in 3Omins I take another 50 mg. I usually sleep about 14 hours after I break down and take it.

I will say if you take it on a regular basis the sedating effect wears off, So I wont take it unless I really really need it.

To me the hangover is worth it if I am just not sleeping for Shyt.
