Experienced nausea and minor headaches at first. And an inability to orgasm until I quit taking it. After 2-3 weeks I started to feel angry, almost to the point of rage. At other times (days) I just felt like crying. Weened myself off with half doses for the next 2 weeks. Feel better without it?

HAS ANYONE HAD A METALLIC TASTE IN MOUTH FROM CLOMIPRAMINE?. THIS MED WORKS GREAT ON ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION. I JUST WISH THIS TASTE WOULD GO MAWAY.

i have studdering

I have taken this drug for 15 years except for the last 6 months. I thought i could be ok without it but i am starting back on it tonite. I suffer from panic, anxiety and ocd. I think the ocd causes everything else. It has always helped me but the side effects make me very tired for a week or so also heartburn and i even feel a little bit more panicky when i first start it again. But in the end, i feel like a normal person and have next to no panic attacks and dont feel anxious. It helps me best withkeeping my ocd under controlRead More Read Less

It has helped my OCD very much especially at the 225mg/day dosage. I would recommend to first-time users to start with 50mg/day and gradually build up the dosage or your mouth will feel as dry as sand. Overall if you don't mind the weight gain it is VERY effective for OCD and it it also very affordable.

After three days taking this medication the side effects were awful. Sweating to the point of shirt drenched, and hard to take a deep breath. I'm looking for somthing new, and in the past been on other anxiety medication without these type of side affects.

I experienced toothaches and irritated gums the day after use. It did treat my premature ejculation very well, though.

I had a severe OCD attack come on, and was hospitalized for a month. My doctor started me on this drug after the first week, and once it kicked in, it worked wonders. The side effects are not bad, and it helps control the unwanted thoughts.

I've been prescribed 25mg of Clomipramine once a day for premature ejaculation. Absolutely amazing results! I can hardly believe the difference. If anything this dose might be too high for me. The only down side for me is heavy fatigue after extended lovemaking, increased thirst and occasional slight nausea.

I suffered from crippling obsessive-compulsive disorder and tried virtually every medication on the market for that malady, to little avail. Finally, the doctor suggested this medication. It didn't have immediate effect, but after about 6 months and when combined with intensive cognitive behavioral therapy, I am now functioning like a normal human being, which is remarkable, considering the abyss in which I languished for so long. That being said, there are serious side effects. (Ironically, the side effects appeared within days of taking the drug, but the therapeutic effects took months to fully manifest.) They include excessive bodily sweating, hypotension leading to dizziness during many types of physical exertion (though this hasn't stopped me from working out regularly), muscle twitching (including occasionally violent twitching while asleep, which I didn't notice until someone else mentioned it to me, since I usually sleep alone), and, most vexingly, a catastrophic effect on sexual function. Achieving an erection at all is difficult, and maintaining it for more than about 30 seconds at a time before it wilts is improbable. Orgasm is very difficult to reach during manual stimulation, even provided that everything else is ideal. I have not had the chance to test during actual intercourse. Libido and drive are decreased significantly, partly out of frustation, because sex now seems like such a fruitless exercise, and largely a waste of time and energy. However, I still remain on the medicine because I've not found a viable alternative, and at this point, I've just learned to live with the sexual dysfunction.Read More Read Less

After 4 years of different meds for severe ocd, including literally pulling out my hair, this medicine worked like a charm and had no side effects. I wish it were prescribed more; my dr. said that it was an 'older'med and some of the newer docs didn't know about it. Wow, is that scary or what? Has not effected my ability to achieve orgasm.

My doctor prescribed this after we had tried almost everything else, from paxil to MAOI inhibitors, to wellbutrin, even considered ECT. over the course of three years. This drug ended the chronic depression when nothing else would. It was a lifesaver.

My doctor put me on 100MG of this drug and after taking one dose I had so many severe side effects I almost went to the hosptial. I had tremors, pounding heartbeat, sweating, I was so dizzy I couldn't stand, severe nausea, constipation, insomnia, loss of appetitate, numbness in my hands and feet, tired, no energy. I was so hopefull that this med would help my OCD. I am now on a different med.

My OCD had gotten so bad that I was hospitalized and the top psychiatrist asked how I functioned daily. This changed my life in 1 week. It has been an absolute God send. The side effects were pretty intense at first, I could not stay awake during the day after taking it at night, but after a couple of months I was fine. I still just take 25mg every night. Sometimes I feel like it needs to be increased, but I have a baby now and I can't take care of her while going through the daytime sleepiness. By the way, I stayed on this medicine through my entire pregnancy and she is healthy and happy, no effects on her. My OCD did get worse during pregnancy though. I recommend this to anyone who has suffered with OCD.Read More Read Less

Sufferer from mild depression, lack of concentration, sleep disorders, lost will to continue. 3 months on this drug relieved all symptoms and made feel 'normal'. No observable side-effects and certainly no effect on libido

Inability to achieve orgasm

I have never heard of this med before until I went to the Vet with an overall aggressisve dog that I adopted. She has moderately severe allergies and has behavior issues with other dogs. She doesn't play well with others. I have 4 other dogs and a litter of puppies... She has been on this med for 2 weeks in combination with Claritin for allergies and she is a new dog. Her anxiety and aggressive behavior have decreased drastically. I know this sounds weird, but dogs are treated medically very similar to humans. And I feel this is pertinant in the big picture. Especially if you have an animal with anxiety and aggressive behavior.Read More Read Less
