I have not heard if this cream but know that Doxepin is an anti-depressant. Even though it is not in pill form it does not mean that it is not ingested by the body - our skin is the largest organ in our bodies and if you apply a drug topically, you need to be aware of this.

Hi, if you have questions about a med. you can talk to your pharmacist they are very helpful.

It's prescribed for neuropathic nerve pain. It was prescribed to me for my back. It helps relieve pinched nerve pain.

Hi Kaye, I read that it is for nerve pain & itching. Let us know if it helps! 🤗❤️

I haven't heard of this, but I'd rather try a cream then swallowing so many pills. I'm sorry to hear that you have had additional pain on top of everything else. I hope it will be helpful for you, and please let us know what you think of it. Thank you 🌸
