clomipramine and Behavior Disorders

clomipramine has been researched along with Behavior Disorders in 22 studies

Clomipramine: A tricyclic antidepressant similar to IMIPRAMINE that selectively inhibits the uptake of serotonin in the brain. It is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and demethylated in the liver to form its primary active metabolite, desmethylclomipramine.
clomipramine : A dibenzoazepine that is 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine which is substituted by chlorine at position 3 and in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen is replaced by a 3-(dimethylamino)propyl group. One of the more sedating tricyclic antidepressants, it is used as the hydrochloride salt for the treatment of depression as well as obsessive-compulsive disorder and phobias.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Twenty-five adult subjects with severe morbid onychophagia (nail biting) and no history of obsessive-compulsive disorder were enrolled in a 10-week double-blind cross-over trial of clomipramine hydrochloride and desipramine hydrochloride."5.07A double-blind comparison of clomipramine and desipramine treatment of severe onychophagia (nail biting). ( Lenane, MC; Leonard, HL; Rapoport, JL; Rettew, DC; Swedo, SE, 1991)
"Clomipramine was superior to desipramine in the acute treatment of body dysmorphic disorder symptoms as measured by assessment of patients' obsessive preoccupation with perceived body defects, repetitive behaviors in response to this preoccupation, and global ratings of symptom severity."2.69Clomipramine vs desipramine crossover trial in body dysmorphic disorder: selective efficacy of a serotonin reuptake inhibitor in imagined ugliness. ( Allen, A; Aronowitz, B; Hollander, E; Kwon, J; Schmeidler, J; Simeon, D; Wong, C, 1999)
"Some of the psychiatric disorders that are usually comorbid with dermatological disorders and respond to antidepressants include major depressive disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, social phobia and post-traumatic stress disorder usually secondary to trauma and abuse during early life."2.41The use of antidepressant drugs in dermatology. ( Gupta, MA; Guptat, AK, 2001)
" TDM and pharmacogenetic tests are useful tools to improve pharmacotherapy by preventing dose-dependent adverse drug events, optimizing dosage during long-term treatment and identifying ultrarapid metabolizers and malcompliance."1.33[Therapeutic drug monitoring: A pharmacotherapeutic tool in psychiatry]. ( Etzensberger, M; Jaquenoud Sirot, E; Stephan, PL, 2006)
"To investigate the relationship between 5-HTT occupancy and a wide range of antidepressant dosing protocols."1.32High levels of serotonin transporter occupancy with low-dose clomipramine in comparative occupancy study with fluvoxamine using positron emission tomography. ( Ichimiya, T; Ikoma, Y; Inoue, M; Okubo, Y; Sudo, Y; Suhara, T; Takano, A; Yasuno, F, 2003)
"Clomipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant that has been recommended for the treatment of canine compulsive disorder."1.30The pharmacokinetics of clomipramine and desmethylclomipramine in dogs: parameter estimates following a single oral dose and 28 consecutive daily oral doses of clomipramine. ( Ball, RO; Conlon, PD; Hewson, CJ; Luescher, UA, 1998)
"Trichotillomania is a chronic illness that may be difficult to treat."1.29Clinical profile, comorbidity, and treatment history in 123 hair pullers: a survey study. ( Aronowitz, B; Cohen, LJ; Hollander, E; Rosen, J; Simeon, D; Spadaccini, E; Stein, DJ, 1995)
" Data in adult patients illustrate on the one hand possible causes of variability in plasma levels of haloperidol and, on the other hand, the fact that poor bioavailability is not the cause of lack of response in 'resistant' schizophrenic patients."1.26Clinical significance of monitoring plasma levels of psychotropic drugs. ( Morselli, PL; Zarifian, E, 1979)

Subjective measurement of pruritus on an analog scale with a single mark denoting self-perceived pruritus: Minimum 0mm for no itch, Maximum 100mm for worst itch imaginable.
