It's been around for so long, and has been
taken in much larger doses--makes sense,
is very probably safe, certainly at these
new doses.

SILENOR(TM) is a low-dose (1 mg, 3 mg, 6 mg) oral tablet formulation of doxepin HCl that is patent protected for its use in insomnia. Doxepin has been prescribed for more than 35 years for the treatment of depression and anxiety at dosages typically ranging from 75 mg to 300 mg per day. At the currently prescribed high doses, doxepin is known to have a range of undesirable side effects, including anticholinergic effects. However, at the doses used in SILENOR(TM) in controlled clinical trials completed by Somaxon to date, these side effects have not been observed.

I take something like 30 or 35mg, the side effects are
one of the plusses for me, sleep more, and wake up to
piss less often. I cannot imagine going back to Ambien
or any of the others. Of course dose and effect that
works for me probably would not be very palatable for
most (heh, dry mouth too...)
