Its related to Pamelor only by having 3 rings (tricyclic) -- Pamelor is nortriptyline, which is the metabolite of amitriptyline. If you're not used to any of the above, it will knock you out cold the first time you use them. Doxepin/dothiepin quickly changes (usually) and one becomes used to the sedation. It is sometimes used for short term sleep loss but eventually only helps going to sleep (for some people anyhow) For you if you chose out of this family I would suggest clomipramine (Anafranil) which is used for OCD/Panic. But it is sedating.
