Hi Everyone,
Well, I have some questions about the Clomipramine.I'm now at 50mg since more than 1 1/2 weeks, I feel ok, I see no difference on my anxiety or depression level but I experience strange side-effects.
The first thing I notice is that I have a lot of waves of Epinephrine (adrenaline), especially when I express myself in a social situation and that what I say can hurt someone (being bitchy)... or when I think about a situation that make me feel frustrated or things that I lived in my past that I can't forget and who make me feel a lot frustrated... Is it normal? I have the goosebumps all over my body and I feel pins and needles sensations on my head when all of this happen...It happen also with no apparent reason or in no special situation...when I watch TV or things like that...
I also have a lot of pimples since 4 days, and no, I don't change anything in my food intakes, I eat always the same things...In fact, I gain weight already and I eat less because I have some nausea in the morning...I normally have a pimple or two, especially after I shave my face, but now it's terrible...I have tons of pimples everywhere in my face...Is it normal?
So, I asking someone who know more things about TCA's than myself...especially Scott...
For Scott, do you think I should switch to the Nortriptyline insistead of the Clomipramine, since the Clomipramine hit more the serotonin and in the past everything who just hit the serotonin fails (Cipralex, Celexa, Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil)???
My Family Doctor said that adding some Doxepin can help me because he hit more the NE...or adding some Atomoxetine (Stratterra) will also help because it's a reuptake of norepinephrine...
What do you think about these two siggestions??? Should I just switch to the Nortriptyline because of it's NE effect...or add something who will hit just the NE under the top of the Clomipramine?
Thanks for any advise you can give to me !!! I appreciate it a lot!
Bye!
Vincent ;-)
