side effects of the drug

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Dosulepin is having side effects like dry mouth, dry eyes, tachycardia etc.
So possibly you are having side effects due to the drug.
Once consult your doctor and discuss regarding your problem.
With his advice you can decrease the dose, and possibly that can help in relieving the symptoms.
If not he may change the anti-depressant.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer followup queries. If you are satisfied with the answer, please give your review at the end of the discussion.
Take care.
