Don't take clomipramine in day time ...bec it has sedative action. Don't take fluvoxamine at night also, because it has sleep disturbance property.
Take 100 mg fluvoxamine in day 25 clomipramine at night ....this is fine
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
( sustained or control release) can't be
broken into half ,otherwise loose their effect .
IR type of fluoxamine can be given BD
(morning or night ) but high dose must be
given at night. But SR type sud be given once
a day ,mainly night.
Next Steps
1.Don't be in hurry to increase or decrease
doses. Have patience and give time to ur
Psychiatrist to help you.
2.It's rule in Psychiatry ,Go slow & Go low with
medicines doses.
Health Tips
** Compliance with drugs is very important in ur
illness.
**Don't play with ur brain Neurotransmitters by
changing dose or altering dose of Medicines,
without supervision of ur Psychiatrist.
* Have a safe & peaceful day. *
