Interaction with "narcotics"
In the Interactions section of the article, for "increased drug actions", it lists:


 * other antidepressants, barbiturates, narcotics, sedating antihistaminics, anticonvulsive drugs, alcohol - resulting in increased central depression

Problem is, "narcotics" is a vague designation of drug types. Does it mean opiates? Any sleeping medication? Or what...

I think "narcotics" is more an arbitrary label assigned to illicit drugs generally, and doesn't really tell you what drug it means. So replacing "narcotics" with more specific drug term(s) would be helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Delysid (talk • contribs) 03:47, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

AS a physician I think narcotics is probably adequate although opiates is more specific. Danwoodard (talk) 16:32, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Dosage and administration
An article with this much technical detail should discuss starting dosage, titration, and maximum recommended dosage, i.e. Doxipin can be taken once or twice a day. Dosage for adults is usually 75 to 150 mg/day, the maximum recommended dosage is 300mg/day. For older adults or mild conditions doxepin is usually started at 25 mg/day.

Contraindications - Brain Tumor?
I checked out the Contraindications and one of them is brain tumor. When I checked the reference link 10, which is a pdf, I can't find any mention of brain tumor, and when I do a google search "doxepin brain tumor" I can't find anything that confirms this. In fact, it's used to partially treat a certain type of brain tumor. Am I missing something on the pdf? Can someone please confirm if this is fact? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Desert liz113 (talk • contribs) 23:15, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
