Linkadge,
I am sorry to hear that you are struggling. You have been through a lot, and I am sure that it is very discouraging that you have not had a better response to the Clomipramine. I know you don't want to call your pdoc to tell him that the Clomipramine is not helping, and is actually making you feel worse, but I think you need to be honest with him. You are not doing yourself any favours staying on a medication that doesn't agree with you. And, just because you had wanted to try Clomipramine doesn't mean you have to stick with it. It is a tough med for some to tolerate and even get to a therapeutic dose. I couldn't tolerate it, and, at the dose I was able to tolerate, it felt like a SSRI with much worse side effects. Please Linkage, put a call into your pdoc or even send him an e-mail, tell him how you are feeling, discuss other options that you have heard about others having success with and seek his opinion on these other options. He is there to serve you, not judge you.
Take care of yourself Linkadge. My thoughts are with you.
Tamara
