Sorry - another anafranil/clomipramine q. In UK

Posted by kizzie2 on August 2, 2010, at 7:28:09

Hello - my last message was a few weeks ago. I am currently on 50mg anafranil.
Brief history: Anxiety based PND 11 years ago (aged 29). No previous history. Took Seroxat and eventually improved but unable to get off seroxat because of withdrawal. Eventually on anafranil in 2004 - got better. Slowly withdrew in 2006 but crashed again.
Slowly withdrew lat 09 and '10 but crashed again in Feb.
(Was very well on 25mg and below 2007/08 and 09.)

Have now been back on thereapeutic dose of anafranil for 5 months. Initially 75mg. Had a small amount of improvement bust still significant anxiety/depression. As I had been better on 50mg in the past dr suggested reducing.

Reduced to 50mg over a number of weeks and had about 5 weeks of feeling much much better.

But then 3 weeks ago anxiety and depression kicked in again. (this was 3 weeks after I had dropped to 50mg) Very severe at times. Very negative and intrusive thoughts.

Im sorry this is a bit of a confusing story but would really appreciate any input. I have read a lot about 'poop out' - could this be what is happening?

I dont know whether this is true but my anxiety/depression 'appear' to be a chemical/hormonal thing. When I am well I am very happy and content. And then i just seems to come in from nowhere. x
