Hi - Im on 35mg of clomipramine/anafranil at the moment.
I was switched to this a few years ago because drs assumed my problems with withdrawal etc were related to ssri's. In the end that proved not to be the case as anafranil is a TCA (although very similar to ssri's apparently).
My withdrawals have all been supervised - and in more recent years very slow. Until this year I tended to be well on low doses but then crashed when got to Omg.
This time I am struggling to stabilise on the low dose but trying to stay optimistic.
I have always had real difficulty with severe side effects when I change dose or medication so hoping to avoid that if at all possible.
Yes re. PND - thats what post natal depression/anxiety is called in the UK. I think it might have a different name in US (?)
Nice to 'meet' you too.
