In reply to Clomipramine help!!! Crawling out of my skin...., posted by Gab2010 on January 11, 2011, at 14:34:28
Hey. I've never taken clomimpramine (the only TCA I've taken is Tofranil), but to me it sounds like akathisia. Akathisia means restlessness--usually, its an inner sense of unease, sometimes accompanied by things like fidgeting or pacing.
Benzos, such as xanax, can help with akathisia. You might benefit more from Klonopin or Ativan. They're strong ("high-potency"), just like xanax, but they last longer and may not cause as many problems for you. Klonopin in particular can last all day w/ 2 doses (although it takes a while to kick in).
I hope everything works out for you. B-6 in high doses can also help akathisia, if that's an option for you.
