A member asked:

Can anyone. recommend an antidepressant that helps with sleep and anxiety beside remeron (mirtazapine) and trazadone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sure: Go old school- doxepin is even sold under brand name Silenor at ultra-low doses as sleep aid. For depression of course dosing would be higher.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
