In reply to Clomipramine vs. Nardil, posted by Phoenix1 on June 17, 2008, at 23:48:43
Clomipramine (Anafranil) produces side effects that resemble both typical anticholinergic TCAs and typical SSRIs. How's that for fun? It is considered to be a "dirty" drug in this way. However, clomipramine might be the most potent antidepressant; second only to the MAOIs. It cannot be discounted that some of the drug's "dirtiness" contributes to its therapeutic effect.
Do you really have much of a choice?
The answer to that question is probably yes, but since you are here now, you might as well allow your doctor to take his shot. If things don't turn out well, you can always research the many drugs and drug combinations that you have not yet tried.
Can you describe the nature and symptoms of your depression?
