The clomipramine is a good idea, especially if one is not subject to intolerable side effects. Prior to its approval for marketing in the US, the more enlightened doctors would have their patients import clomipramine from other countries. I received mine from a small pharmacy in Canada. Clomipramine has had the reputation of being the most efficacous antidepressant available if one excludes the MAOIs.
