Thankyou everyone for all your advice.
In the end they sent me to my GPS office to get my blood pressure checked. There were no drs there - just a nurse but she was very kind.
She seemed to think somebody should be helping me more but there was nothing she could do herself.
Anyway she did my blood pressure.
Sitting it was 102/60 but then standing it dropped to 90/55.
Resting pulse was 100 (mine is normally 70).So nothing (hopefully) life threatening but not good either.
So I have no choice now but to wait till friday.
Then I'll have been on the clomipramine for 5 weeks. 50++mgs for 3 weeks.
If Ive seen no improvement by then is it time to through in the towel. (If I switch apparently it will be to escitalopram ???)
Im so sorry this message is so long. But my days at the moment are never ending and the support on this site is so welcome.
Because i was involved in the whole Seroxat debate in the UK I have been told so many negative stories about SSRI's. But they're not all bad are they??????
My family are desperate for me to stay on clomipramine because it got me better last time and / they cant face the thought of me having to withdraw from it and take something else.
