Hi Denise, I'm no expert with the neurotransmitter workings so I can't say for sure if the clomipramine works the same way, I would think it would.
I was on clomipramine though from 1989 to 1999 at 150 mg. It was probably the best drug for my depression / anxiety..... the daytime sleepiness past after several months for me.
Unfortunately, I met this young, upandcoming p/doc who suggested I give ssri's a go as they were all the rave!! He said it would help with my dry mouth and a few other side-effect that were quite mild?
Well, 10 years later and a whirlwind of meds, clomipramine is beginning to look real good again, I may go back on it.
Stopping the Seroxat for a year or so may give it a kick-start, or, it may not be as efficient as the first time you took it, no one could say for sure. I bet if you stayed on the clompramine for the year, you may not want to switch back!
Whatever you decide, I hope you find success. :-)Regards, Rick
