  • In general after long-term maintenance treatment, the best is to reduce the dose by about 25% every 4-6 weeks. An apt pharmaceutical dose (tablet, capsule, mixture) is not always available. In these cases one should be creative with dosing.[1][2]
  • Another, more risky, possibility is being at a certain dose to use the following scheme:
  • Gradually reduce dosage of clomipramine to a maximum of 75 mg/day.
  • When a dosage of 75 mg/day is reached, stop administration.
