Thought i'd do another one of these to help people going onto this med or switching from another AD, I've been on clomipramine 80mg for 5 months and my doctor's taken me off one imediately ( no tapering ) and going straight onto 50mg of Sertraline, suffer mainly from depression with a bit of obsessive thinking/anx and the occasional panic attack.
Day 1
Missed my dose of Clomipramine last night and took the first Sertraline tablet today, felt in a pretty positive mood all day, anxiety doesn't seem to be playing up at all today, main difference seems to be the bad side effects of clomipramine have worn off slightly ( didn't wake up several times during the night which has been a major problem on the Clomipramine, and feel much less spaced out/dizzy ) obviously early days but feel majorly optomistic after today!
Day 2
Another decent side effect free day, not much to say about today, no discernable withdrawal symptoms from the clomipramine and nothing new from the Sertraline, still early days but hopefully If there were gonna be any side effects they would have appeared by now?
Day 3
Bit of a crappy day, weather put me in a bad mood, had a night of really lucid nonsensical dreams which were a bit uncomfortable, felt spaced out mid-day and nearly had a panic attack in college but stuck it out and felt much better afterwards, spacey feeling has faded and feeling pretty optomistic tonight
