Hi Kara,

Do you happen to know whether Melatonin suppresses progesterone? I thought I read that it can suppress estrogen, which may or may not be desirable. About 8 years ago, a friend of mine, who was trying to get pregnant, was taking melatonin every night. She was unable to get pregnant, and it wasn't until several years later that she figured out that the melatonin was making her infertile. These hormones are so powerful, and they affect so many systems, directly and indirectly.

I'm glad to hear the doxepin is helping you so much. How many mg are you taking now? If you are still on that low dose, do you find that you are able to keep the anticholinergic side effects to a minimum? Did those palpitations stop?

Have you ever taken nortriptyline? If so, how was it? I took it many years ago for a brief time. Nortriptyline has a so-called "therapeutic window" or narrow dosage range within which it is effective. I never seemed to be able to find the correct window. I might try it again some day.
