I don't think you want to get too excited about increasing dopamine levels, I think it overrated. Also remember that Geodeon is a dopamine receptor blocker, so taking an AP with a stimulant can be counter productive.
My first suggestion would be to swap from Clomipramine to Nortriptyline. Nort is close to Clomipramine with the SRI part removed. For side effects & weight gain I think Nort would be half as bad allowing you to take twice as much.
> I know it has some tiny agonistic effect on 5HT1a (according to the handy chart at www.geodon.com/MOA.asp)but all other effects are antagonistic?? No?
