I have been on Doxepin 25 mg for sleep for 10 years. I am wanting to get off of it because I am heavily into alternative medicine now and I know being on this cannot be good for such a long time period. But I also know the minute I stop I will have issues again with sleeping. I have tried in the past. This must be a genetic thing because my sister and father both have severe insomnia as well.

Any suggestions on what I can try? Melatonin? Valerian Root? Kava? Those are the three I have superficially seen but I imagine there are other things I could try as well. I want to get to the whole foods store and pick something up tomorrow. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
