do you mean dosulepin/dothiapin phillips?
That is the most widely used tricyclic in England, Europe and Australia...... its similar to nortriptyline, in that it is about equal to amitriptyline in antidepressant effects, but with far fewer side effects. Brand name is Prothiaden.
In these days of Effecor and Zoloft it isnt commonly used in depression, but it still finds a role in resistant patients, and also in chronic pain, fibromyalgia etc.
It was the first antidepressant i tried, at 150mg per day it worked, but the weight gain wasnt good.
