Roslynn, more than welcome, and thank you for clearing that up.
Hm, Prozac is a med known to compromise sleep, so it's the first suspect for your sleep problem.
Couldn't you at least lower your Prozac dose?
You could also move over to a sleep-friendly SSRI like Luvox (fluvoxamine), although then you REALLY would have to have blood levels checked - or tread carefully - since Luvox boosts clomipramine exactly the other way around as does Prozac: it boosts the mother drug, i.e. clomipramine itself, while suppressing the noradrenergic metabolite. Sorry for all this metabolism talk, I'm in this dung too deep. (Sorry for saying 'dung', it's because 'sh*t' is censored.)
Remeron (mirtazapine) could help a lot too, especially if you also fancy becoming fat as an elephant. ;)
Current meds: clomipramine 225mg, fluvoxamine (Luvox) 50mg, amitriptyline 10mg, bethanechol 25-50mg.
PRN: oxazepam 5-10mg
