Clomipramine is a blocker of the following transporters:[4]
* Serotonin transporter (SERT) (Ki = 0.14 nM)
* Norepinephrine transporter (NET) (Ki = 54 nM)
* Dopamine transporter (DAT) (Ki = 3,020 nM)(wiki)
so the answer - your dopamine must be through the roof. This is normal and should subside somewhat with time (from my experience initial reaction is most drastic, then body tends to get used to it). But I would be less worried about it, just tell your colleagues, "don't mind my eyes (pupils), it's the medication."
Really few people pay that much attention to this. I think it it is mostly how one handles the self.
