What Causes Nausea After Withdrawing From Doxepin?
I hAve been taking doxepin 10mg for 25 years. I read that this can cause cognitive problemso in the elderly. (I am 68). I read that this may be irreversible. When I tried to stop taking it cold turkey I became very nauseated and stayed nauseated for more than a week. Finally I started taking it again and the nausea went away that day. Is it really important to get off this stuff? My doctor has not recommended it. Should I try again more gradually?
