Help!
26 days ago i was started on Clomipramine/Anafranil after i had a severe allergic reaction to Sertraline/Zoloft, i have been on my prescribed dose of 150mg for 14 days, whilst increasing it i felt absolutely fine, really felt that this might finally be the medication for me, but over the last week i have started feeling terrible with what i think are side effects.
The side effects i'm suffering are-
Tremors in my hands and arms
Involuntary muscle spasms throughout my body
Headache
Anxiety
Rapid heartbeat
Feeling down again
Pure O thoughts increasing
Nervousness
Could i possibly be on too much clomipramine for my body to handle, i'm going to see my Pdoc on Thursday, but i really don't think i can handle the way i feel until then, i was going to start decreasing the dose slightly myself tonight.
i would appreciate any words of wisdom

Ps i've previously taken -
Citalopram for 1 day! ended up in A&E
60mg Prozac/Fluoxetine for 10 years until it pooped on me, worked fine before that.
225mg Venlafaxine/Effexor for 8 months, made my anxiety worse, did nothing for OCD.
100mg Sertraline/Zoloft for 16 days, was excellent until i suffed anafaletic shock and ended up looking like a marshmallow with eyes!
