In reply to Clomipramine/Anafranil anyone?, posted by bearfan on November 5, 2011, at 15:38:41
Hi, this is one drug that worked for me when no others would. That said, it does come with side effects. You can start at 50mg or even 25. I found it was quite strong at start-up. Side effects might be less if you start at 25.
> Anyone swear by or against this stuff? I tend to have slightly better remission rates withs SNRIs such as Effexor, but Effexor, while effecitve, killed the libido so much I'm looking for alternatives. I have tried Tofranil in the past, but it tended to cause bladder problems and fatigue. I heard Clomipramine can be good with anxiety, depression and some OCD, which I suffer from. I just don't want to start up a trial just to be disappointed with weight gain and the usual side effects by the older anti-depressants. Also what tends to be the standard dose for this stuff? Is it 50 or 75mg?
