I found clomipramine to produce more side effects than imipramine at the same dosage. My impression is that the two drugs are not milligram equivalent. I would treat clomipramine as being more potent than imipramine, and having a lower therapeutic dosage window. For this reason, I think it would be better if you were to take 75mg for several days before going to 100mg.
Do you have an idea as to what your doctor plans to set as a target dose of clomipramine?

That's interesting. Most people have a more difficult time tolerating clomipramine. What was it about the other TCAs that you found to be intolerable?
