Before you run out for a prescription for
Clomipramine, know this: Only four cases were reported during the drug tests and fewer than five percent of
clomipramine users report this side effect. A MUCH more common side effect is
anorgasmia (delayed or lack of
orgasm). Stick with
Rosie. She's free, and ready when you are.
