I know that our situations are different, but if the worst clomipramine were to do to me is to produce marginal alterations in prolactin and testosterone levels, I would gladly trade those side effects for remission from depression. Your numbers aren't off by that much. However, I doubt that you will be content to continue with clomipramine without first knowing how Marplan affects you. It's a difficult decision to make.

It was actually the reverse situation here. I began suffering a certain side effect that can be caused by high prolactin. I told my p-doc and he ordered the tests. The only thing that would really help would be a dopamine agonist to lower prolactin.
