Is Doxepin The Right Medicine For Headache And Depression?
Hi Yes I have a question concerning Doxepin. It was prescribed to my husband to help with his headaches. I m reading up on it, and I m not seeing any info pertaining to its use for headaches but rather for sleeping and depression. In your experience have you seen this drug prescribed for headaches or migraines?
