Doxepin

My mom started taking this med. about 5 weeks ago. Does anyone know if it causes increased appetite/weight gain? Also, is there an average dosage level that is used for the optimum effect? She is 77yrs. old and weighs 125lbs. Thanks

The optimum dosage all depends on the person, the doctor will slowly adjust as necessary, but she will need to take each dose for a few weeks for it to reach the maximum therpeutic effect, before they can see if an adjustment is needed.

Yes, almost all of these types of drugs can cause weight gain, so it may be necessary for her to watch her activity levels and eating habies to make up for it.

My information is not guaranteed correct. I do not get them right all the time, but I do enjoy the hunt~
