I have been taking doxepin after trazadone was giving me vivid dreams. I am sorry to say this medicine scares me! The reason- 3 episodes that scared everyone around me. If you take it go straight to bed/sleep. not advising anyone to fight it when you are tired please dont fight it. My first episode landed me in the hospital only to people to make fun of actions i done, with not remembering any of it! Its very scary when you hurt your family by punching them, creating a fake baby in the hospital, Damaging your loved ones property. Whats sad is they tell you off the wall things that you know you would never do. Please be aware, ask your doctor why this medication causes so many problems and no one can remember what people say that u did it without being aware of it.

I had been given so many meds for sleep and they weren't working for me after awhile but this med is great. Once in a while it wouldn't work but it was rare. I can wake up pretty quickly with it.

For the first few days, I remained sleepy for a long time afterward, but that symptom is going away. Makes me sleep very well without interruption and I have had no other side effects.

It helps me get to sleep but doesn't keep me asleep. I wake up off and on several times during the night and I've gained nearly 10 pounds while taking this medication. I've been on it for about 1 1/2-2 yrs.
