User Comments about Dosulepin Hydrochloride
12 Jan 2012 Had a breakdown from a family event and first put on Diazepam and 25mg Doselupin.Was getting addicted to Diazepam so transferred to Prozac..terrible side-effects of neuropathy.Changed to Citalopram..same side effects so in desperation my Gp put me back on Doselupin as I'd had it before many years ago for post-natal depression and haven't looked back since..few side-effects and a good nights sleep.I've now been on iit for 15 months and am considering whether to reduce the dose..but will be interested to see if the neuropathy symptoms return if I go off it completely as Doselupin is given to treat that too so it might be masking the symptoms of neuropathy suffered when I was on the SSRI Prozac/Fluoxitine.

01 Jun 2011 Having tried other antidepressants that literally made me climb the walls with anxiety, dosulepin is the only one that does not do this and has calmed me considerably.
