> I was wondering if i'm the only one to use it on the babble forum for SAD and GAD and BDD...and also I want to know if it's normal that I feel exhausted, like I don't sleep since a lot of times, even if I sleep more than 6 hours at night... I also want to know how you can call this "problem" : Since I take the Clomipramine, I can't stop thinking about anything...I'm lying in my bed and inside my head I think more than usual...it's like I lived again the past 3 years of my life...the gods and bads moments... I always think and think...and that's make me crazy and a lot tired...and I feel a lot nostalgic...That's really strange...The clomipramine activate a lot my minds but don't give me more energy...I fear that I will endend up like the Prozac at more than 30mg, I mean that I will feel a lot excited and anxious, with no good effects on my SAD or GAD...and at the same time a lot tired...Since the Clomipramine is the more powerfull non-selective of the serotonin reuptake, I suppose it's relatively close to the Prozac effect no???

> Anyway...is it a manic state or what? I really don't like that... I just want to stay in my bed all day long, feeling tired as hell but at the same time I can't sleep and I feel anxious...I hate that...

> I'm wondering why I was not able to tolerate the heart effect of the Parnate, since at least with the Parnate, I see already a difference in my SAD level and my GAD level also...
>
> Anyway, some help or some advises will help me a lot...thanks for your input...I had to discontinue Clomipramine because it made it so I couldn't get out of bed in the morning, and made my heart race. I also have SAD, GAD, BDD, along with depression, some OCD, and ADHD(in-attentive). I may try it again in the summer when I can afford to lie in bed all day if I need to.
I'm going to be starting Noritriptyline on Sunday. My pdoc likes the side effect profile of it better; we're going to test it to see if it effects my heart as well.
Stay with it! Most people say the sedation fades. I just can't deal with it right now, as if I stop going to school, I'll lose my financial aid and most likely be kicked out at this point.
