Doxepin HCl is a tricyclic antidepressant that is marketed worldwide.Target: SSRIsDoxepin inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine and acts as a antagonist at various serotonergic, adrenergic, musacrinic, dopaminergic and histaminergic receptors [1]. In the doxepin-treated patients who completed the study (N = 20, 47.6+/-11.3), medication significantly increased sleep efficiency after acute (night 1, p < or = .001) and subchronic (night 28, p < or = .05) intake compared with the patients who received placebo (N = 20, 47.4+/-16.8 years of age). Doxepin to cause significantly (p < or = .05) better global improvement at the first day of treatment [2].
