A member asked:

Been on doxepin for 12 yrs was doing slow tapering but suddenly stopped, how long does withdrawal symptoms last? symptoms r dizzy headaches lethargic

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe not withdrawal: If you indeed tapered over a period of time it might not be withdrawal. The symptoms you are describing can be ones that occur with hyperventilation and anxiety. See your primary care provider
