As no one replied I'm gonna self-report.
Withdrawing from 85 to 10 mg was in fact piece of cake, no major withdrawal symptoms, perhaps slightly lowered mood. The trouble started from going 10 to 0. I started getting the brain-zaps, however I have experienced SSRI brain-zaps before and clomipramine's feel different, it's more like a mix of dizziness and feeling of falling when standing up and moving, sitting down is ok. Anyway the zaps aren't too bad with this one and seem to be subsiding. The worst symptoms have been the severe mood swings (going from really low to very elated and then to very irritable) and the fatigue which is really bad and doesn't seem to go away so easily. I've decied to do the last stretch of withdrawal by switching to fluoxetine which has a longer half-life than clomipramine.-Ikaros
