Hi Ben,
I couldn't really tell you if a stimulant would work for you when added to clomipramine. It doesn't sound all that promising though if you've been unable to tolerate stimulants in the past. There are other stimulating medications that your doctor might prescribe in addition to the clomipramine or perhaps that isn't the best medcation for you.

> Hi, Kara, I've had severe anxiety/OCD for 10+ yrs, I read that tricyclics share some things with antipsychotics. Clomipramine feels quite similar to zyprexa, I feel numb, detached, dull, with really littl drive of any kind> . I've never combined Clomipramine with a stimulant - in your opinion, is this worth trying, if I could get my mind back, this would be a miracle, stimulants, make me obsessive, and produce emotionaly lability - please let me know if anyone has experience combining a tricylic for anxiety with something to stimulate them, where their OCD/anxiety would have previously been aggravated,

My anxiety was so bad that I was not able to eat or sleep - the only things I managed to consume were Gatorade and Ensure. Also, I was starting to get agoraphobic. Now I'm eating and sleeping again. I'd say that my anxiety is about 90% under control. I don't know why this isn't used more for anxiety. Maybe because it's old, it's cheap, it's dirty and it's not terribly lucrative for the drug companies. It's not a long-term solution for me but it will enable me to tolerate other medications that I've been unable to tolerate recently because they were too stimulating.
