In reply to Re: Anyone ever tried Anafanil with Klonopin ?, posted by JD on May 26, 1999, at 6:06:51
Whoops--what I meant was that I wasn't sure if Buspar could be combined safely with clomipramine (Anafranil) ... Actually just checked medline and found a study claiming there to be no problem with it at all. On the other hand, valproate has been written up as causing a serious rise in clomipramine levels, and I couldn't find a thing on combined Anafranil/gabapentin. Long story short: make sure you have a doctor who knows his polypharmacy (better than me at least!), but there's much out there to be tried if the current tricyclic/benzo combination is making you feel like a lazy bum.
Best,

Have you ever tried Buspar? (Though again probably not a clomipramine...) There are other longer shots perhaps worth considering too: gabapentin and valproate come to mind, and heck, there are always MAO-inhibitors, those these are definitely a no-no with Anafranil !
