      today i walked for about 1 km. after that, i was gasping for air, didn't feel my legs, had tunnel vision, nearly lost balance, and was simultaneously freezing and sweating. i love antidepressants. sincerely. anxiety before clomipramine was way worse than its side effects

      I've seen some that make blood pressure drop while climbing stairs. Fainting + stairs = bad time :(

      Any idea what the mechanism might be? I find it odd that not everyone experiences it.

      these are all anticholinergic side effects. really fucks up your autonomous nervous system. as for not everyone experiencing it, well, no drug ever works exactly the same on two different people

      Oof, yeah, clomipramine is one of the dirtier ones. Surprised (but happy) it works for your anxiety - I had only heard of it in the context of OCD (as being a fairly potent serotonin reuptake inhibiter) but even for that it's a mixed bag (paradoxical effects anyone?)

      Neuropsychologist explained once that while ssri's and tca's can effectively be a "cure" for depression, they're not great with anxiety, and anti anxiety meds (benzos,etc) are more of a stop gap measure to get to CBT ideally, since they can make things worse thru conditioning...

      please take me to the planet where ssris (or tcas) are a cure for depression, that place sounds nice

          I know, right? Obviously a ton of asterisks after that statement, more like "we think they approach the mechanism of illness fairly directly, but because we don't know either the mechanism of action nor illness precisely, it's still a SWAG.

          Lol. Hey, she was a clinical neuropsychologist, (with background of clinical psychologist in evidence-based anxiety practice), not a psychiatrist. On the flip side, psychiatrist seemed shocked that anyone recommended therapy for anxiety disorders.
