While I don't think there should be any pharmacokinetic interactions, I'm not sure that a cross-taper is appropriate at all. If your doctor says to do a cross-taper, then by all means, follow his instructions.
Is that what you're doing? Clomipramine and its active metabolite both have long half-lives. If you want a shot-in-the-dark guess, I would say do some sort of cross taper changing the dose every 4-7 days. Do not follow my advice blindly.
