Hi:
I am no expert, but since Paxil and Clomipramine both affect the reuptake of serotonin, it may be possible you are suffering side-effects of too much serotonin, or maybe something like the "Serotonin Syndrome". Anyhow, you should get to your doc, a walk-in clinic, or even emergency room asap, as you shouldn't be walking around with those feelings. In other words...get help right away!
Best wishes..
Jay

My PDoc has added Clomipramine to the mix (for reuptake of the other transmitter - starting with n that I can never remember the name of). I gradually went from 10mg to 20mg and after about 3 weeks I started getting really irritable. I was blowing up at the smallest things and feeling really aggresive. I realise this could definitely by a side effect of the clomirpamine - has anyone else had this effect - and does it eventually go away? (BTW am also taking 2mg of Xanax per day)
