▸ Editor's verdict OPTIONAL-ADD MEDIUM
Among the safest pharmacological sleep options. At 3-6 mg the H1-only mechanism avoids the dependence, REM suppression, and morning grogginess of benzos and z-drugs. Particularly useful for the "wake at 3 AM and can't get back to sleep" phenotype (sleep maintenance vs initiation). For Dylan with no sleep complaint, no current case. OPTIONAL-ADD if maintenance insomnia ever appears — preferable to trazodone (which has α1 + 5-HT2A activity), benzos (tolerance, withdrawal), or z-drugs (parasomnias, abuse potential). Off-label 3-6 mg generic doxepin compounded is much cheaper than Silenor brand.
