Hello Mr.
If your psychiatrist has advised you to take
clomipramine only at night (12.5mg). You
should follow his instructions. Because Ur
Psychiatrist has given more time over you & he
know ur condition better than other
psychiatrist ,to whom you talk just my question
& answers session.
If you want to change ur Psychiatrist ,u should
ideally consult any Psychiatrist personally, of ur
choice and follow a fixed treatment .Other wise
you will be confused by different opinions of
different Psychiatrist.
** Fluoxamine cause both SEDATION &
INSOMNIA. Dosing depends upon it
type ,whether it is IR (immediate release) can
be broken into half of tablet or SR,CR

broken into half ,otherwise loose their effect .
IR type of fluoxamine can be given BD

given at night. But SR type sud be given once
a day ,mainly night.

doses. Have patience and give time to ur
Psychiatrist to help you.

medicines doses.
