Topical doxepin is used to relieve itching in patients with certain types of eczema. It appears to work by preventing the effects of histamine, which is a substance produced by the body that causes itching.

Doxepin is available only with your doctor's prescription.

Have taken it for so long don't know if it works. Have stopped using for a few months and it didn't seem to make much difference.
Since beginning treatment with Doxepin I notice that my appetite seems greater and my ability to burn calories is diminished. It does not keep me as mellow as did Effexor XR which stopped working after a couple of years.
