Hi R,
Dothiepin (Prothiaden) and doxepin (Sinequan) are both sedating tricyclic antidepressants. Doxepin is a more potent antihistamine than dothiepin, and tends to be more sedating.
For a long time, dothiepin was the most widely prescribed antidepressant in the UK. Dothiepin is not marketed in the US.
The new international name for dothiepin is dosulepin.
Chemically, dothiepin, amitriptyline (Elavil) and doxepin differ by one atom only.
Kind regards
~ed
