Hi - I hope someone can give me some advice.
I had Post Natal Depression with severe anxiety 7 years ago. Got better but couldnt stop the paxil Id been taking. Tried lots of times over 2/3 years. Eventually did switch to prozac but when I stopped (slow withdrawal) I fell into very deep depression.Took clomipramine (75mg) and eventually got better. Over time slowly reduced clomipramine.
But now back in same position. Severe depression/panic attacks/anxiety/ suicidal thoughts. Not able to work/look after children etc.
I have been back on clomipramine now for 3 weeks. (50mg for 1 week / 75mg for 3 days). I cant take more than 75mg because of blood pressure problems.
How long should I give it before I know if clomipramine is going to work again. I know last time it took quite a while. But if anything Im getting worse.
Ive been reading the messages here for a while and everyone seems so supportive.
Can anyone offer me any advice? (Im in the UK)>
