Can Doxepin And Lunesta Be Taken Together?

I am having terrible insomnia. I have been taking a low dose of Lunista for about 10 days with little sleep to show for it. I also have taken Doxepin in the past but stopped when I started the Lunista. I have read that I can take both these meds together to get some good sleep. Your thoughts?

I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.

The two drugs do not have any direct interaction, they can be taken together. Of course it is advisable to take as fewer drugs as possible due to concern for dependance and side effects, so if none are working some other option like suvorexant may be considered rather than using two drugs at the same time, talk to your doctor about that.

I remain at your disposal for other questions.
