Better would be stop clonil/ clofranil ( both are same) and increase nexito to 15 or 20mg. Kindly consult a near by psychiatrist for the same

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.
