Is there post acute or protracted withdrawal for tricyclic anti depressants?

I’m tapering Clomipramine VERY slowly but it hurts pretty bad. Despair, dark thoughts, fatigue, worse brainfog. Does anyone know if people experience bad symptoms even after fully stopping?

Vitamin b6 helped when I quit ADs.

I don't know if I can help but I had to CT a tricyclic.

Despair, dark thoughts, fatigue, worse brainfog

yes to all of those. I do know the lighten for many people over time. I used a sunlamp. Getting vitamin D from that can safely help with mood. I don't know if it helped but it may have made a difference. But mostly it is waiting it out.

My partner got me the smell of orange because that is supposed to help mood. It may have worked on a small level. But as you know these symptoms can be hard to break through.

B Vitamins can help improve mood but are very activating to us. So if you start start at a low dose.

The despair and dark thoughts are what I think are the hardest. It will get easier as they fade.

If they get overwhelming post or reach out. Send a pm.
