Hi Alien,
>Ok well I went to the toilet and well a lot of blood was in the toilet and when I wiped there was a lot of blood. It looks red and fresh, but I am in no pain.
That's happened to me loads of times. It happens whenever I've got 'hard stools' - it causes anal bleeding. The 'bright read blood on the toilet paper' suggests that it's anal bleeding.
I went to the doc and he said I was bleeding from a blood vessel near my anus. I don't have haemorrhoids though.
Clomipramine usually causes hard stools so that's probably the cause. I think you should take some more stool softeners. You're taking senna + docusate at the moment, right? Perhaps you should go to your doc and get something else.......or something to take in addition. He'll probably do an anal/rectal exam. Here in the UK, almost all laxatives are OTC. Once you've got checked out by your doc, you'll probably be able to buy something from the pharmacy.
Love
~Ed
