So after coming out of the doctors last week nearly in tears I today spoke to a lovely GP who has agreed that after nearly six weeks I need to come off of Clomipramine as they are obviously not agreeing with me.
She was so nice, said that whilst some side efffects will settle down because I have several it is unlikely they will all go away and with SSRI's and TCA's it is just a process of elimination to find one that provides the best relief of symptoms with the least amount of side effects.
So as of tomorrow I have to start escitalopram only 5 mg to start with and she wants to speak to me next week to see how I'm finding it.
She said hopefully these will work as a lot of her patients have reported relief of a whole array of symptoms from phobias to OCD and anxiety etc. So that's me starting a new one as of tomorrow.
I feel better for speaking to someone who didn't make me feel that I basically just have to lump the side effects!
It's amazing how much more positive you can feel just from speaking to a different doctor!
