Chlomipramine withdrawal?

[Chessgirl]

Hi all,
I am new. I have had OCD, ADD, depression and anxiety for 30 plus years.

Anyone come off Chlomipramine/Anafranil and had 'electric shock' type symptoms?

Due to a production/delivery issue I have not been able to get any so decided to come off them, rather than change to another drug, after 20 years.

I can't find any references to the symptoms I am having however.

Hi, Chessgirl! :welcome: Electric shock feelings are pretty standard across the board when coming off our meds. Other symptoms may occur. A quick check I just did on your med's warnings states what I expected to see: "Do not stop using this medicine suddenly. Your doctor will need to slowly decrease your dose before you stop it completely." Glad you checked in here. Hope you see a physician right away, and good luck. Come back online and let us know how you're doing! xx

O.o you need to come off that drug really slowly as it can cause discontinuation syndrome (anxiety, insomnia, headache, nausea, malaise, or motor disturbance) doing it suddenly- please go to your gp x
