I imagine that Clomipramine would be a wonder drug except for the side effects :) It's funny how it took nearly 20 years for Clomipramine to get from France to the Anglo countries.....
Re: serotonin and body image, sociability, self-esteem: Effexor hasn't fixed my body image problem, I am still a fat pig(which I actually am), but I care a lot less than I use too & I now don't feel like everyone is pointing at me. It did improve my self-esteem alot, it has made me a lot more sociable, I now go out of the house & see people, It also has allowed me to enjoy things again, ie: I now enjoy watching movies & listening to music again. Before Effexor I could not sit through an entire movie as it was just so uninteresting. Another good thing is it has given me the ability to talk about my problems with close family, friends & doctors. Before Effexor I was silently planning my demise on a daily basis, I am glad I never did anything stupid. :)
Cheers,
Panda.
