"Side Effects

Clomipramine has what are called anticholinergic side effects. This means that clomipramine inhibits the involuntary functions mediated by the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. These are not usually significant but the list of anticholinergic side effects to watch for includes:

Retention of urine/difficulty passing urine
Reduced intestinal motility
Increased eye pressure
Heart rhythm disturbance (especially in patients with unregulated hyperthyroidism or taking thyroid supplementation)
Other side effects reported include: vomiting, diarrhea, and sedation."
and drug interactions
"
Interactions with other Drugs

Clomipramine is incompatible with monoamine oxidase inhibitors. This means clomipramine may not be used in conjunction with anti-tick collars containing amitraz (the Preventic® collar). It may not be used with selegiline (Anipryl®).

Anti-thyroid medications such as methimazole carry a risk of blood dyscrasias meaning that some blood cell lines may be suppressed. When these drugs are used in combination with clomipramine the risk of this side effect is increased.

Cimetidine (Tagamet®) may slow the removal of clomipramine, effectively increasing the potential to reach a toxic blood level."
Hope this helps you!
