> Now I'm on clomipramine, the first days were ok, but when I reached 100 mg, again I felt terribly depressed. One week 100 mg and now 3 weeks on 125 mg, still no improvement...

> I know AD's can make depression/anxiety worse the first weeks, but what if you continue to feel more depressed? Is there any chance the clomipramine will start working miraculously in the next few weeks?
> Does this mean that all/most AD's will have this effect on me?

> Thanx!Hi,
some ADs can cause depression:
- Wellbutrin made me feel blue irritated and very depressed.
- Milnacipran(Ixel) made me very very angry and hostile from the first pill
- Reboxetine full dose(8mg) made me extemley hopelessly depressed,but when I lowered it to 1mg + benzodiazepine(bromazepam)it gave me energy and concentration.I can not stand more than 1mg rebox a day
so..some ADs can cause depression by
themselves,and sometimes too high or too low a dose can cause new symptoms of depression.
