I've been on tofranil but never clomipramine. I'd definitley be ok w/ trying another tricyclic but my current doctor (of about a year due to a move) is pretty stuck on the idea that they're the most likely kind of AD to switch someone to mania. I've gone completely manic (psychotic hospital etc) but it's never happened w/o some chemical catalyst but he seems to think a tricyclic is a risk.
I may try going lower on the Marplan. I used to do exceptionally well on only 20/30mg of Marplan now on the max amount (although people here go above). I'm still remembering dreams which for MAOI I think is supposed to not happen.....perhaps less would be better (Libido/fatigue-energy maybe)....
