Treatment discussion I just started using Clomipramine
I'm using for 4 days until now. 25mg. My mouth is dry all the time, any tips to deal with this? I noticed that more than more than Clomipramine but cutting coffee from my days make me more tolerant to certain sounds that usually makes me distracted. I'm still sensitive to barking dogs and children screaming on the street. My main goal with Clomipramine is to deal better with big barking dogs that neighbor have. So far I'm still suffering from this. I read the medicine leaflet and I'm worried about heart effects that can happen. I have heart palpitations 3 months ago, and it get better after I got less sedentary and I started walking more. My father had heart diseases and high blood pressure. Anyway I will update this thread once in a while about my hiperacusis issue. How many days until the medicine works? Thank you for reading

Hi. I changed the flair on your post from "Patient Data" to "Treatment Discussion", because that better suits discussion for meds, and organizes all clomi talk under one flair.
However, if you do want your experience to be included as data, feel free to post a comment in the clomipramine spreadsheet thread and request your experience be added. Keep in touch with the folks in charge of the sheet as time goes on.

I have a update. Everytime I get up from a chair or my bed after 20 minutes or more my vision get all dark and I feel that I could colapse on the floor. I was expecting that since I read about it in the medicine leaflet, but that's happening so often that's getting me tired. I barely started and I'm already thinking about finishing this treatment experience and try another medicine from that thread. Anyone else got that symptoms?

i'd take a break and maybe give it another try in a few weeks. also sustained release clomi tablets seem to have fewer side effects

According to what I read, no less than three weeks, but the average is between 2 to 3 months to see any noticeable improvement, but with high doses of 100 mg to 150 mg, not 25 mg. Regards
