A member asked:
I am on anafranil (clomipramine) 75 mg but its causing me constipation. what can do to get rid of this side effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation: You can add colace (docusate sodium) 100 mg twice a day, or pericolace (docusate sodium) up to three times a day. Metamucil would be effective as well. Constipation is common as a side effect of anticholinergic drugs.
