Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

One Milliliter to Twenty-five Milligrams

Postby Dawnxbear » Thu Nov 22, 2007 2:26 am

I was taking Doxepin (an anti-depressant) in liquid form (1.0 milliliter) as a sleeping aid. Since I felt that my body was getting used to the dose, I asked my doctor to increase it. He prescribed 25.0 milligrams in capsule form, telling me to cut the tablet in half and take 12.50 milligrams each evening. The pharmacy said I can only get it in capsule form, so he told me to take the 25.0 milligram capsule. I have only been taking it for four days now, but I'm not noticing much of a difference. How much of an increase was this actually?

Nobody can answer without knowing how many mg of Doxepin are in 1 ml liquid and how many mg of the same substance are in the 25 mg capsule since there are also innert additives.
