does clomipramine interfere with the efficacy of methylphenidate?

Clomipramine: Chlormipramine is a tri-cyclic antidepressant. Drug levels of chlorimpramine may increase with taking methylphenidate at the same time. However there is no change in efficacy of methylphenidate. Your doctor is likely monitoring the effect of both medications. Ask him/her about the rationale for the drug combination.

A 39-year-old member asked:
Is there anything I can take other than ritalin (methylphenidate) to help stay awake and focused?

Why: My first question is why can't you stay awake and focused? If there's a problem, best to get checked out and treat the cause. Healthy people don't need to rely on stimulants to perform. Any stimulant, from caffeine to amphetamines, can keep you awake. But, they all have side effects as well and can damage your health, so use with caution.

Prescription?: Is this a prescription dosage? If so, talk with your doctor regarding side effects and drug interactions. If it is not your dose of medication, then i would advise avoiding taking too much of this medication. There is no "safe" medication -- not even over the counter medications.

Need more info: Ritalin (methylphenidate) 10 mgs. Every 4 hours (assuming during day time hours only) may not be a high dose for an adult, but may be high for a small child. More information is needed to give an accurate answer. Also need to know total dose in 24 hours.
