> How does clomipramine compare to the other TCA's in terms of side effects and which neurotransmitters it targets?
In my experience and those of others, clomipramine can be a bit rough as far as anticholinergic side-effects go. It is an excellent med though. About as strong an SRI as Zoloft. Plus strong NRI and all the benefits (and drawbacks..) of a TCA.
Unfortunately, it gave me severe photophobia=sensitivity of the eyes to sunlight, to the point of giving me bouts of pain in the eyeballs when exposed to sunlight.
Current meds: 10mg melitracene + 0.5mg flupentixol; sertraline 100mg; amitriptyline 25mg; gabapentin (Neurontin) 300mg; melatonin 0.3mg. PRN: diazepam (Valium) 2.5-5mg.
