I was at my wits end with obsessive, intrusive thoughts. So anxious and the SSRI I was taking was no longer working. I was placed on clomipramine and I felt a change as of the first day I took the lowest dose. I'm now at 100 mg and feel better than I have in years. The intrusive thoughts are gone and I feel good.

I have severe OCD, have taken so many different classes of meds w/o much relief. Doctor just raised dose to 75mg a week ago- had reaction with fast heartbeat, crazy loud buzzing in ears, muscle pain; along with ongoing side effects of dry mouth, flushing, sore throat and anorexia. This med did not help alleviate OCD for me.

I haven't experienced any side effects and the relief from circular thinking and incessant counting has been remarkable.

Was experiencing premature ejaculation. After starting one 50mg Clomipramine daily everything went to normal. PE disappeared and no other side effects have been experienced. The difference with, and without it, are night & day.

this rx has been a life changing therapy. My GAD, agoraphobia, and OCD have virtually disappeared after twenty years of searching for relief.

Tended to relieve more severe depression and limit chronic anxiety but severely if not entirely eliminated any libido.
