Anafranil, Clomipramine, and jujube

Posted by RetiredYoung on November 11, 2004, at 14:31:16

Hi Tamara (and everyone!) - I'm taking 300mg/day of clomipramine (that's 150mg in the morning (along with my multi-vitamin), and 150mg at bed time).
My side effects: Heart rate up, slightly shaky hands, very bad dry mouth, urinary hesitation, minnor word finding/slurring problems, lowered exercise tolerance, and reflux/heartburn.
Typing that out makes it sound horrible, which it kind of is, BUT... I'm taking it to help me with depression and chronic tension headaches and, at the dosage that I'm on now, it's been extremely effective so far.. So effective that I'm willing to put up with the side effects that I listed.
If or when it begins to be less effective, I'm going to try Cymbalta.
