The great experiment will be to see what 5HT reuptake inhibition does for me, since I have never taken one long enough to determine the nature of its effects. My hope is that the other actions of clomipramine will make the SRI effects tolerable.

>Hi Todd,
If one + equals a range of 1000-10000, then I would say that + and ++ are would be clinically insignificant. Do you think you could put up some data for the other TCA's? I am fascinated that clomipramine gets a ++ for D2 blockade & I'd also like to see the comparison of the different TCA's that this book offers.
Cheers,
