doxepin (Rx)

Depression/Anxiety

Initiate at low dose (25 mg/day); gradually titrate upward every 5-7 days

Dosage range: 25-300 mg/day PO, up to 150 mg/day as single dose

If dose exceeds 150 mg/day, divide q12hr

Dosing considerations

• May give qHS to decrease daytime sedation

Insomnia (Silenor)

Sleep maintenance

3-6 mg PO within 30 minutes before bedtime; not to exceed 6 mg/day

Hepatic impairment/debilitated patients: 3 mg PO within 30 minutes before bedtime

Dosing considerations

• To minimize potential for next day drowsiness, do not take within 3 hr of a meal (AUC increased by 41% and Cmax by 15% when taken with high fat meal)

Dosing Modifications

Hepatic impairment: Use lower dose and adjust gradually for depression; initiate Silenor at 3 mg daily for insomnia

<12 years old: Not recommended

Insomnia (Silenor)

Sleep maintenance

Starting dose: 3 mg PO within 30 minutes before bedtime

May increase to 6 mg PO HS if clinically indicated

Depression/Anxiety

Lower initial dose (ie, 10 mg/day) and adjust gradually; 10-25 mg PO qHS

May increase by 10-25 mg increments q3Day for inpatients and weekly for outpatients if tolerated

Dosing considerations

Avoid; strong anticholinergic and sedative effects; may cause orthostatic hypotension (Beers criteria)

Consider alternatives; if must use, initiate with lower initial dose

May cause confusion and oversedation in elderly
