The downside is really bad doxepin hangovers in the morning where I hate to even wake up in the morning but the feeling dissappears in a coulple hours. 40 pound weight gain,loss of libido, extreem appetite and foggy brain and very forgetful( some of that could be just aging)
Ive cut way back to about 10 milligrams a night and my insomnia comes back but the hangovers are gone. I was taking up to 50 mil and that made me feel like a zombie.
i tried to get off it once and the crawling feelings came back and were unbearable.
I may always have to take it . Try to cut back to the lowest amount that still helps you is my suggestion.

that was always my problem with meds, when i was on the mental health ones. they play guinea pig with you until you can find one that has more benifits than side effects,. but for every good, there is a bad, i guess.
