And.... there is no difference between tablets and capsules. This is just another factor for Silenor to ensure $$$$ and use of their product. There are no tablets in the generic listings, and so pharmacies cannot exchange the order to the affordable product because none of the generics are "identical" to the tablet form of Silenor. Doxepin has historically been a capsule because the SINEQUAN brand was a capsule. Once swallowed there is no difference. If Silenor tablets were extended release, then there would be a difference, but from what I see on RXlist.com they are just regular tablet immediate release formulation.

I know this is a bunch of details, and difficult to grasp, but just try to learn it all before your doctor's appointment. The patient (consumer) is always the last to know, and therefore gets fleeced in some way in the end. Loses, most often and does not get affordable treatment.
