> Zandy oh wow!!!!! You have a link to this or what did you type in to search. And I must look up this med. And of course good luck. Phillipa hey post updates as I feel others would love to know of your progress
Silenor is Doxepin, but it comes in 3mg and 6mg dosages. It is made by Somaxon (www.Somaxon.com). Because the dosage is so low it supposedly does not have the adverse/side effects of the 10mg Doxepin, and no rebound insomnia or withdrawal. It will be available to the public hopefully on the 20th of Sept. Walgreens is keeping on top of it for me and will let me know as soon as it comes in. My DR already called in the RX in anticipation. In the mean time I have discovered Bonine. It is different from other antihistamines (ex - Benadryl, Promethazine, dramanine, etc.) in that it doesn't make you dizzy and have less next day drowsiness/hangover. My DR gave me the ok to use it until the Silenor gets to the Pharmacy.I found Silenor on rxlist.com. My DR says it is a good website. Just do a search for Silenor, then scroll down and click on Silenor (doxepin). It will give you alot of info on it.
You can also go to Somaxons website and look at the prescribing information. And if you call their main phone number you can ask them for a special phone number they set up just for questions about Silenor.
When I get it , I will let you know how it works for me.
Hope this helps!!!
