And it had just grown in! Can't say I've lost all off those years though. But I've certainly lost the last few.

Hi Franco, anyone else new.. I have severe anxiety and it's eliminated by clomipramine, but it leaves me apathetic. I took prozac until it pooped out four months later, and if anything found them a little activating. TCA's however, truly are 'dumb drugs' for me. I used to be really ambitious, I wanted to be a physician, couldn't stand waiting around... now I'm not depressed but just remembering how things werefor 4 short months before prozac pooped-out , I think, what a waste. Interesting how the description of SSRI's numbing emotion and ambition parallel my experience with clomipramine. I was imipramine before and had the same effect. Any advice?
