In reply to why no relief from anxiety with clomipramine?, posted by g_g_g_unit on October 15, 2010, at 6:06:05
> sorry for all the negative clomipramine press, but I'm growing completely disillusioned with the drug. I've been really patient, but after more than five weeks have literally seen no improvement whatsoever in my panic/anxiety/OCD symptoms (which render me almost completely non-functional). in fact, if anything, it's exacerbating my dissociation/depersonalization episodes, and the constant sleep disruption is just making me manic. is it possible that I'm sensitive to the NRI?
Imipramine had been the drug of choice for panic disorder until more recently. I have seen Nardil work well for the symptoms you describe. However, you might think about using a mood stabilizer given your history of mania. I would think about trying Trileptal.
What drugs have you tried so far, and what were your reactions to them?
