Doxepin

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Doxepin is a medication used to treat depression and anxiety. It works by blocking certain receptors in the brain that are linked to these conditions. Doxepin is a type of antidepressant known as a tricyclic, which means it shares properties with other drugs in its class like amitriptyline and desipramine. It was first developed by Pfizer and approved by the FDA in 1969 as an antidepressant. In 2010, it was also approved to treat insomnia.

Effectiveness

How Zonalon Affects Patients

Doxepin is a type of antidepressant that works by decreasing the electrical activity of the brain. It can have effects such as making someone feel calmer and easing depression, but it can also make them feel sleepy. These effects usually take a few weeks to be fully felt, but the sedative effect is felt right away. High doses produce more noticeable side effects, like dizziness, confusion, and dry mouth.

How Zonalon works in the body

Doxepin works by blocking histamine receptors, which helps relieve skin conditions. It also works on the central nervous system to increase levels of norepinephrine and serotonin at synapse nerve terminals. This helps increase activity at post-synaptic neuron receptor sites and desensitizes serotonin 1A receptors and beta-adrenergic receptors. Finally, it increases dopamine levels in the frontal cortex, which helps improve its transmission in this area.

Zonalon for Itching

Over-the-counter itch creams and cold compresses failed to provide me with any relief from my neurodermatitis. This prescription, however, was very effective. I got instant relief but it made me drowsy.

Psilocybin Therapy for Anxiety and Depression in Cancer

18 - 85
All Sexes
Seattle, WA

This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects and how well group retreat psilocybin therapy works for the treatment of anxiety and depression in patients with solid tumors that have spread from where they first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) or with hematologic cancers for which no treatment is currently available (incurable). For patients with metastatic, incurable cancer, unrelieved anxiety and existential distress can cause profound suffering. Psilocybin therapy can relieve anxiety and existential distress by disrupting patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety and depression. Psilocybin is a substance being studied in the treatment of anxiety or depression in patients with cancer. In this study, a pharmaceutical grade of psilocybin will be used that has been approved by the FDA for research, provided by Filament Health. Psilocybin acts on the brain by resetting the brain's activity and increasing connections between brain regions, particularly those involved in mood regulation and self-perception. In this study psilocybin is combined with structured discussions and reflections that enable patients to have new insights about their situation. In a prior study, group retreat psilocybin therapy was proven to be safe and this study tests a refined dosing regimen for symptoms of anxiety and depression in patients with metastatic solid tumors or incurable hematologic malignancies.

Pine Ridge, SD

The goal of this open pilot trial (OPT) is to develop a Lakota-adapted Family Acceptance Project (LFAP) for Indigenous 2SLGBTQ+ youth and their caregivers. The OPT is specifically focused on acceptability, feasibility, and safety of programming and research protocols. The investigators will also examine pre- to post- changes on outcomes for the sole purposes of making sure scores on measures are changing in the hypothesized direction (e.g., depression scores are going from moderate to minimal as opposed to no change or depression scores increasing). Once enrolled in the study, participants complete a baseline survey. Then participants will engage in LFAP which is an 8-session group intervention; sessions will be scheduled once a week for eight weeks (at 2 hours per session). Participants will complete survey instruments before and immediately after the program sessions, in addition to post-program surveys and an exit interview.

FRAME for Heart Failure

18+
All Sexes
Cornwall, Canada

Heart failure is a high-risk, chronic condition that impacts patients' mental health. Approximately 50% of heart failure patients experience comorbid mental health conditions, such as stress, depression and anxiety, which affect their day-to-day lives. Despite this interconnection, the integration of mental health awareness and support into cardiac care remains limited. To address this gap, the FRAME (Foundation, Recognition, Awareness, Management, Engagement) intervention was co-designed by researchers, healthcare providers, health system decisionmakers, and patient partners. This pilot study evaluates the feasibility of implementing the FRAME intervention in pilot clinical sites within two health regions in Ontario, Canada, including team-based family medicine clinics, cardiac rehabilitation/specialist clinics, and emergency departments. Utilizing a pretest-posttest hybrid 1 model intervention design, this study evaluates process indicators and patient-focused outcomes through surveys and semi-structured qualitative interviews. Findings from this study will inform a future large scale cohort study and scalable integration of the FRAME tool into existing cardiac care pathways to enhance mental health awareness and support among heart failure patients.

Wellbeing Interventions for Anxiety

10 - 20
All Sexes
Sugar Land, TX

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if psychology and music based interventions can impact anxiety and overall wellbeing in adolescents enrolled in choral music classes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do specific psychology and music based breathing interventions impact anxiety and overall wellbeing in adolescents? Do specific psychology and music based performance anxiety reduction interventions impact anxiety and overall wellbeing in adolescents? Do specific psychology and music based emotion regulation interventions impact anxiety and overall wellbeing in adolescents? Researchers will compare results of pre-test data, post-test data, qualitative interviews, and surveys of adult choral directors to see if there is a measurable impact on adolescent anxiety and overall wellbeing. Participants will: * Use box breathing during choral music warm-ups to connect choral breathing to breathing for anxiety reduction * Use "magnify" technique to compare cognitive distortions regarding an upcoming performance that may cause anxiety to the most likely realistic outcome * Use emotion regulation through song lyrics technique to connect lyrics of choral music repertoire to participants experienced emotions
