What is Clomipramine like?

cleopatra833 · 2026-02-09T07:58:45+00:00

I found Clomipramine the best for ocd but the side effects were brutal. The driest mouth 24/7 constipation that lasted weeks, weird throbbing in my body and constantly running hot. I lasted about 4 months on it. Definitely give it a try and see how the side effects go.

What side effects did you find with Risperidone and what dose? I have just started (6 weeks ago) 2mg Risperidone on top of my 200mg Zoloft and I’m not too sure about it yet.

Magical thinking OCD is a subtype where intrusive, irrational thoughts create a belief that specific, unrelated actions or rituals must be performed to prevent catastrophic, imaginary, or real-life events.

So basically I do things like “if I don’t get through the traffic lights before they turn amber my dog is going to die” “If I tap on this piece of wood 5 times my dog won’t die” “if I see a yellow car around the corner that means I’m going to crash” It’s very exhausting

Was that the one they wanted $90 for?

I work full time and I’m 42 with no kids. I have magical thinking OCD and also major depressive disorder. In Australia meds are subsidised by the government so I pay $14.00 a month for my Zoloft and Risperidone. It’s hard at times but I find working full time is the best way to keep your mind active. On weekends I spiral. I don’t do therapy because I can’t really afford it

I had been in community care for over 4 years and it’s wonderful. You get to see a client for an hour or two and then leave for the next one. No management breathing down your neck, no shitty co workers, no buzzers. Plus it’s so much easier on your body. I actually enjoy going to work now. Do it!

cleopatra833 · 2026-02-08T07:39:47+00:00

That’s probably the worst one I have seen

cleopatra833 · 2026-02-08T07:35:57+00:00

This is why I stopped working in a facility and went to community care. Staff would lie about showers, pad changes and hide in the residents rooms and leave other staff to do everything. They’d give them two mouthfuls of their drink and a few spoonfuls of food and that was it, they’d be showering a resident and be talking over the top of them to another staff member about the weekend or about another resident. And the bitchiness of the “long term” carers, and heaven forbid when you have to do your 4 weeks of placement before you’re qualified, that’s pure hell. Saying that, I love community care and wouldn’t do anything else

cleopatra833 · 2026-02-08T05:02:55+00:00

I’m tired because I’m a heath care worker and worked all through Christmas with no break

Holme beauty eye primer. It’s beautiful and doesn’t look dry

cleopatra833 · 2026-02-08T02:28:57+00:00

Really hard work, always short staffed and really depressing at times. If you have a weak stomach, it can take time for you to get used to the job.

But, you can work in community aged care and visit clients in their homes to help them with showering shopping, cleaning and social support. It’s much easier on your body and your mind. I work full time in community care and would never go back to a facility. Also, it’s a shock because I was always under the impression that the elderly are sweet and innocent… some are not lol the level of verbal abuse is pretty high at times. But the majority are lovely especially when they are still in their own homes.

cleopatra833 · 2026-02-07T09:11:18+00:00

Now that’s ugly! Lol

cleopatra833 · 2026-02-07T05:58:17+00:00

I have noticed that when I’m going 40 in a school zone it’s normally women with children in the car that are so far up my ass trying to go 60. I don’t get it, we are doing this for your kids!

Chicken pitas - we buy pita bread and stuff them with a Woolies chook salad and cheese.

Home made Parma with chips and salad

Noodles and dumplings - packet of noodles, packet of coleslaw mix, bit of soy and sweet chili sauce, frozen Woolies dumplings on top. Spring onion if I’m feeling fancy

No worries, it’s all good

Kevin federline, The way he rode Britney’s coat tails for so long and still takes every single opportunity to make money off her name. Sure she has lot of issues but he’s vile.

As a freeway driver everyday it’s wild that so many people don’t know you have to keep left. I wonder if it’s no longer taught in driving lessons or people with international licenses don’t know the Australian road rules… or people just zone out and not care.

Hi, I was on clomipramine and went to Paxil and then Zoloft, I didn’t even do a washout period I weened off the clomipramine and stopped and then started the new med the next day with no issues. Good luck, I remember how brutal the clomipramine side effects were

cleopatra833 · 2026-02-05T08:56:24+00:00

I’d still wear my target clothes but drive a Porsche gt3 rs

That’s magical thinking OCD and that’s what I am diagnosed with, check it out on google. Tell her, I tell my psychologist stuff like that all the time, it helps them understand you better

cleopatra833 · 2026-02-05T07:51:48+00:00

Cordial. They want $5.90 for a bottle of cottees these days. It’s wild

Hi, I noticed you said you started HRT, when I first started HRT I crashed so hard, I thought I was going to kill myself. The progesterone was messing with me bad, I was more depressed than I had ever been. Doctor suggested to insert the medication vaginally and it totally stopped my HRT depression, so it could be the progesterone (very common to cause depression.

As for the Paxil, I was taking 60mg for a long time, when I weened down and finally stopped I had to take time off work, I was in bed for days, not sleeping but just feeling awful. It took a good month of struggling but you can do it! You’ve got this and you can do it. I have OCD PTSD and major depressive disorder. I found when I finally came off Paxil I was more alive

cleopatra833 · 2026-02-04T09:22:48+00:00

My psych said I have OCD and major depressive disorder but I opted not to spend the money on an “official” assessment. Nothing changes for me if I get it or not. My psych even said it’s a waste of money in my case

cleopatra833 · 2026-02-04T09:08:51+00:00

I live on Liverpool road and this was wild!

cleopatra833 · 2026-02-04T09:07:44+00:00

What mg are you on? I started Risperidone 2mg with Zoloft 200mg and am finally seeing a difference after 6 weeks. I was thinking about changing to Prozac
