Hello, I understand your concern. Clonil does have this side effect of constipation. But, unfortunately, clonil and clofranil are one and the same, only from different brands. In fact, you are actually asking if you can increase the dose of the medicine that is actually causing the problem (constipation)
Next Steps
please do not self-medicate. consult your doctor and discuss your problem They can help you to avoid constipation by changing  the medicine and adjusting the dose
Health Tips
eat lots of green leafy vegetables and fruits, which are rich in fibre. have atleast 3-4 servings per day drink atleast 3-4 litres of water regular and moderate exercise these tips will help to relieve constipation to some extent. hope you feel better soon.
