Indications Sinequan is indicated in the treatment of depression and/or anxiety associated with alcoholism, psychiatric conditions, or manic-depressive conditions. How It Works Doxepin is in a group of drugs called tricyclic antidepressants. Doxepin affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced. Dosage Tablets (10 mg 25 mg, 75 mg) A starting daily dose of 75 mg is recommended. Dosage may subsequently be increased or decreased at appropriate intervals and according to individual response. The usual optimum dose range is 75 mg/day to 150 mg/day. In more severely ill patients higher doses may be required with subsequent gradual increase to 300 mg/day if necessary. Additional therapeutic effect is rarely to be obtained by exceeding a dose of 300 mg/day.

You may have thoughts about suicide when you first start taking an antidepressant, especially if you are younger than 24 years old. Your doctor will need to schedule regular visits for at least the first 12 weeks of treatment. Call your doctor at once if you have any new or worsening symptoms such as: mood or behavior changes, anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, or if you feel impulsive, irritable, agitated, hostile, aggressive, restless, hyperactive (mentally or physically), more depressed, or have thoughts about suicide or hurting yourself. Before taking Doxepin, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have: bipolar disorder (manic-depression); or diabetes (Doxepin may raise or lower blood sugar).

Serious, life-threatening side effects can occur if you take Doxepin before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body. Before taking Doxepin, tell your doctor if you have used an "SSRI" antidepressant in the past 5 weeks, such as Citalopram (Celexa), Escitalopram (Lexapro), Fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem), Fluvoxamine (Luvox), Paroxetine (Paxil), or Sertraline (Zoloft).

The effects of some drugs can change if you take other drugs or herbal products at the same time. This can increase your risk for serious side effects or may cause your medications not to work correctly tell your doctor about any and all products you take. While taking Sinequan, do not start, stop, or change the dosage without your doctor's approval.
