Dealing with Clomipramine(anfranil) side effects.

I've been taking clomipramine for 5 months now.  I've tried about 13 medications for depression/anxiety/panic disorder, and it's the only one that has helped.  It has stopped my suicidal thoughts.  I am actually happy now and can enjoy life.  I have many irritating side effects though, such as urinary retention, bad breath, and I sweat a lot more than I used to.  For the urinary retention I take Xatral which helps some of the time, but it's still, it's often difficult to pee.  My breath is rancid, always, and when I sweat, it stinks and I can't stand the smell.  I know that I can't go off this medication, so if anyone has solutions to these side effects please let me know.  I would be very greatful.  

Justin

My brother has the same problem with the same medication. There is nothing to help you besides more aggresive hygiene and colognes with mouth freshners/gums.
