Hi Dec
Dothiepin, also known as dosulepin, is a tricyclic antidepressant. It is available in the UK and Australia but not the US. Dothiepin has been around a long time - it is available as an inexpensive generic. It is also available under several different brand names such as Prothiaden and Dothep (in Australia). Prothiaden was the original brand.
Years ago, dothiepin was the most widely prescribed antidepressant in England. In recent years, doctors have been advised to exercise caution in prescribing dothiepin because it is very dangerous in overdose - people have often used it to kill themselves.
You may be discouraged to hear that dothiepin is closely related to amitriptyline.
