I think she's mis spelled it - dosulepin (previously called dothiepin, they changed the name for some reason) is a tricyclic that causes less drowsiness and side effects that amitriptyline - in the US, nortriptyline would be somthing very similar.
Until the "new" antidepressants came along, it was the one most commonly used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and quite a few other countries. Nowadays it is, as you say, mostly used for chronic pain.
