In reply to question about clomipramine, posted by greg diamond on March 31, 2005, at 10:36:28
> I am currently on Zoloft/Remeron, which I like, excepting for the 'spaciness' (and cost) that comes it.
She claims that there is less weight gain with it than with Remeron. Anyone else have opinions about her suggestion?I don't mean to contradict banga, but I have to say I am not so fond of Clomipramine.
I don't have OCD but I took it for Anxiety, Social anxiety and depression.I think Clomipramine is a good drug, it certainly is very effective for anxiety.
Unfortunatly it comes with many side effects.
I experienced extreme daytime sedation to begin with, although it did get better. I also had a very dry mouth which didn't get better.As to weight gain I found Clomipramine to be bad in terms of weight gain, I was only on it for a few months and I gained a lot of weight which I still haven't lost:(
I think it also made me a bit tired during the day.
To conclude I think it is a very effective drug, if you can tolerate it!
