Is it allowed to take Clomipramine during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Excreted into breast milk in a clinically non-significant amount with no problems observed in breastfed infants from treated mothers. Levels found in the plasma of those infants were very low or undetectable. Because of a tiny excretion into the milk, symptoms due to deprivation syndrome would not be avoided by breastfeeding the infants whose mothers were taking this medication during pregnancy. Galactorrhea out of the breastfeeding period has been described.

Worth the side effects -- dry mouth, constipation. Keeps me balanced and employed -- would be a problem without it.

I have severe OCD, have taken so many different classes of meds w/o much relief. Doctor just raised dose to 75mg a week ago- had reaction with fast heartbeat, crazy loud buzzing in ears, muscle pain; along with ongoing side effects of dry mouth, flushing, sore throat and anorexia. This med did not help alleviate OCD for me.
