Hi Gab,
Most welcome. I'm having the flu @ da moment.
Prozac and clomipramine are very different; SRI-wise, a clomipramine dose equivalent to 12mg Prozac may be 20mg clomipramine, perhaps even less.
Prozac washes out of your system very slowly all by itself, so there's no need to keep taking it. It takes about a month to leave your system after the last dose.
> You said that the CL is superior - do you mean also as compared to Prozac? Have you experienced the difference between being on an SSRI and the CL?
Compared to most other meds. Yes, I've been on Paxil for three years, and on shorter trials of most of the other SSRI's. Clomipramine doesn't make me listless as the SSRI's do.

>Haha. Thanks.
Current meds: clomipramine 225mg, fluvoxamine (Luvox) 50mg, dexamphetamine 5-10mg, bethanechol 20-60mg. As needed/wanted: oxazepam 5-20mg.
