How can i tell if my symptoms are from a dosage increase or from anxiety: depression returning? my dosage of doxepin was only raised 5mg feel like hel

Need more info: I understand you're taking both topical and oral doxepin, reasons for taking and doses not known. You need to rule out side effects of last doxepin dose change, even though a small increase, with prescribing doctor before assuming anxiety is the cause. You may be getting a higher dose of doxepin with topical and oral meds being additive than you realize. I hope this helps.
