Hi

I've been on dosulepin for nearly three weeks at 75mg. Have had to reduce this as I've been completely spaced out, lethargic, and generally not feeling that great.Actually felt more anxious and depressed on this dose. It seems to help with sleep but has reduced by ability to play sport etc. Has anyone stayed on 25-50 mg and found it helpful?

I have been on dosulepin for 6 week at 25mg, for the first 3 days i felt the same, very spaced out. I have also stopped running in the evenings as i have to take them by 8pm. I'm still not sure of them really they are precribed for depression and anxiety, which i have suffered for a long time. :?:

I have been on 50mg for 3 months. Dont feel lethargic, and would say overall i have benefitted.

Do have funny muscle and nerve 'jumps' and 'tingles' though

:o

I find them the same

They still don't make it any easier to sleep though. I had my dose upped to 150mg which again, is making me feel spaced out with no energy to do anything, but it isn't helping with sleep. I sleep for an hour or so, wake up, sleep, wake up and so on...

I know feeling lethargic is a symptom of depression but it wasn't as bad as this.

It's definately helped with my anxiety though and I've only had one panic attack since I started taking them a month or so ago.
