Anyone had any emperience taking CLOMIPRAMINE?

[mamam2boys]

Hi,

I have recently been diagnosed with PND i have 2 little boys one nearly 3 and the other nearly one. Ive suffered in silence for a long time.

I was recently given Citalopram to take but it didnt agree with me and after 3 weeks i was feeling no better so my doctor has given me clomipramine to take. After a 3 day pill break i have to start taking these tonight.

I was just wondering if anyone had taken them before and if there were any obvious side effects?

Thanks

Hi Claire,

Sorry can't advise on clomipramine but can sympathise with your pnd.

Just wondered how you feel today after starting to take the new pills?

Good luck x

Hi

Thanks for your message. I dont really feel any different after taking them apart for ive slept a little better the past few nights. Ive been taking them at night time so maybe they are making me feel tired.

I hope that these agree with me better than the others as i really need the help.

How are you?

Hi,

I was prescribed Clomipramine to aid with my (fairly severe) PND. It was the third drug we tried and worked like a treat. It is an older style anti-d. The main side effect that I know of is dry mouth. I had this on a dose of 150mg but to be honest I was so glad to have the cloud lifting that I didn't care too much. Once the dose lowered to 100mg then 50mg the dry mouth went.

It is especially good for anxiety related depression and I believe it helps with sleep.

I was on it for about 8 months.

I hope it works for you.
