I'd like to stop this medicine. I'm on 25mg for 5 weeks and getting nothing from it. I tried going up to 50 and the side effects were too much. Do I need to taper or can I just stop? My psychiatrist wants me to stay on it, so she won't give me advice on this. I went to another psyc for a second opinion and he agreed it is such a low dose it is likely just clouding the effects of Wellbutrin which I have been taking for a little over a week.
I'd like to stop taking clomipramine?

You must discontinue this antidepressant gradually under medical supervision with the guidance of, I would say, your 2nd Psychiatrist with a discontinuation schedule from your "new" Dr. in order to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
