My question is recently my dr. increased my doxepin from 25mg to 100mg.at hs.........he told me 25mg. is extremely low..............however, I have noted that i have noted an increase in my appetite since this increase in the dose. A. I had gastric bypass in March and have lost 44 lbs. thus, I do not want to gain weight. This MD is a top doctor in Rhode Island and I have faith in his order.
