Hey, that's cool. I'm really glad you're seeing the results. The problem is that, when I began clomipramine, I was experiencing a severe, adrenaline-like onslaught of anxiety, which was literally lasting 24/7. After 6 or so weeks on the drug, I have not seen my anxiety (physical or mental) alter *at all*; even SSRIs provide some relief after 2-3 weeks, whereas here, I am just as anxious and fearful as ever. The only positive I have seen is an easing of my depression but I just can't live with anxiety like this. Factor in the sleep deprivation and I am very close to lopping off someone's head. There just haven't been enough gains to justify continuing at this point :(

On 225mg for more than a month now, I'm beginning to feel more and more stable (as long as I don't do my wicked med and drug experiments). The side-effects can feel very acute and nasty, but in the end, they would be worth the trade if my brain gets tweaked long enough to relief me from a chunk of anxiety and depression.
