Suggest Alternative For Doxepin For Sleeplessness And Fibromyalgia

I have been on doxepin 100 mg for 25 yrs with no problems at all for sleep regulation and fibromyalgia. Now humana has tiered the drug from 2 to 4 and the cost is sky high when I was paying zero. What else can I tKe. Over the counter is bad for liver and kidneys. I just want a good nights sleep.

Hello,

You can use same molecule come by name Xeprich or Doxedep which are 38% cheaper. But you may use Escitalopram or Triazolam under your doctor advice only.

Hope I have answered your query.
