A tablet call Dothiepin hydrochloride(also know as Dosulepin) is an antidepressant drug from the Tricyclic group. It can be used to treat depressive illness, especially in cases where some degree of dedation is required. Its availble as 25mg capules or 75mg tablets. The normal dose for an adult is 150mgs at night.

I take 200mgs at night and it helps to remove the depression to a certain degree and also lifts your mood as well the next day.

Dosulepin is relatively mild and is used for low level anxiety depression and similar disorders, particularly where insomnia and/or loss of appetite are present. It can take between two and four weeks of regular usage to become effective, it is often started at a low level and the dosage increased if this is ineffective. The drug causes drowsiness as a side-effect, and this may be used as part of the treatment, since anxiety depressive patients may have difficulty sleeping, but it can be combined with other drugs such as temazepam.
