I found doxepin not very effective in doses of 3, 6, 10, and even 20 mgs. Neither would ramelteon(rozerrm) help me sleep. It’s interesting that they worked in combination. Perhaps I’ll try it if the doctor approves and will give me a prescription.

If it helps, you can remind your doctor that they both qualify as among the safest sleep aids you can find, so together, they are probably about as harmless a combination as exists. Plus, of course, better to be using a prescription combination than something with OTC drugs, since the prescription stuff is much more of a known quantity with reliable QA/QC.

For quite a while, I was mixing melatonin with doxepin and (distressingly frequently) zolpidem. A much less wise choice.
