Comment:
I started Doxepin for insomnia. I've been taking it for almost 3 months. I agree with other reviews about being very groggy. I also, have developed eye pain and severe neck pain. I don't take any other meds, so it must be from the Doxepin. I'm gonna stop taking it and go back to my doctor.

New to Doxepin but have found it totally ineffective. I don't sleep and other popular sleeping pills have stopped working for me. Also, I have started to have hallucinations when I do fall asleep. Not sure if there's a connection but never had that problem before.
