In reply to Sorry - another anafranil/clomipramine q. In UK, posted by kizzie2 on August 2, 2010, at 7:28:09
I really liked Anafranil, and took it for many years. Drs here in the US would always try to take me off of it for a newer drug, but the Anafranil was always the best.
But it did eventually quit working for me. It was a gradual decline; I didn't realize it was pooping out until I woke up one morning and realized the horrible black-dog depression was sitting on my chest. (Then I could look back and realize I'd been slipping for a few months.)
I wish Anafranil were more widely used here in the US, as it is in Canada and the UK. I think it's a great drug for certain kinds of ~psych profiles~ (I don't know what else to call it).
Sorry you're not doing well. It may be time for an adjunctive drug, perhaps prozac or wellbutrin?
Not to freak you out, but you may also want to look at bipolar type II symptoms and see if that seems familiar.
