How much clomipramine is too much ?

Question

I was prescribed Anafranil my my doctor for depression and insomnia, after trying several other substances with no success. Problem is that Anafranil (clomipramine) is quite helpful, at least at inducing sleep, the only problem is that i have to take a considerably larger dose than that prescribed my my doc. I was prescribed 50mg. Is there something risky or vvery bad if i take 100 or maybe even 150 mg ?

Answer 1

in general the maximum dosage is 250 mg daily...however i would not advise you to take more than prescribed...tell your doc that it doesnt work at the lower dosage and let him do what he thinks is best so that he can monitor the situation.Sometimes if you are taking other meds, only so much of a certain med can be prescribed without adverse reactions Remember, overdosing is easy.
