Hi everyone - i used to read this site all the time a few years ago and found it really helpful. Ive also just put a message in the intro section.
Ive been ok on clomipramine for the last 4 years. (working full time/ looking after my children etc.)
Then in January I reduced from 15mg to 10mg and everything went crashing down. i tried to go back up to 15 and then 20mg but didnt stabilise at all so now trying to increase back up to my original 50mgs. (I had been fine on 20mgs for over a year).
The problem is that I have just gone from 25mg after a week to 35mg and the anxiety is unbearable. It feels 'medication induced' if that makes sense.
Does anyone recognise this anxiety side effect on starting / upping the dose. I think i may have had it last time but dont really remember. And any tips on dealing with it?
Thank you - would really appreciate any help. Thanks x
