Personally I feel that clomipramine is the best of the TCA's as relieving depression, pain, low affect, anxiety or anhedonia (mental, not low energy).It is the foundation of my treatment, even at 25 mg/day it have a dramatic effect on my affect.I find it increasing my feelings(not decreasing like SSRI's), I feel more in love with my family, i become more carring, tender.It helps me with pain tremendously, I did sports all my life and have a lot of injuries, back, knees, pains, all are massive decreased.
As a side note, when I'm depressed i can't reach the "runner's high", no matter how vigurous I excercise, I workout obsessive to reach this state, but I can't reach it.Clomipramine, it seems that reverts my opoid system to normal, so after my morning workout I can feel that wonderful post-exercise feeling all day, as normal.
In my opinion, when Clomi works, the side effects like dry mouth or transient somnolence are nothing besides the normalcy it gives me.Personally, I like it combined with a NRI for increased hedonic and energy effect.
