> Sorry, I meant that if you thought the changes you are feeling in wanting to do things more and talk to people is a result of the clomipramine or just a placebo effect (ie, you feeling hopeful that the medication might be working even though it might not have kicked in yet).That is a tough one to call. I've taken a lot of ads and generally I expect them not to work. I'll go out on a limb and say this is an early blip. I really think serotonin needs some norepinephrine for a balanced mood. Even though it is more serotonin I can feel the ne also in this med. I had been on low dose amitriptyline for a while so something may have been happening and maybe the shift to more serotonin did the trick.
