Abstract
Clomipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant, has been used in the treatment of obsessive neurosis successfully. In the course of treatment with this medication, sexual disorders in the form of decreased libido and impotence were noticed in three patients whose cases are reported. These disturbances occurred in the first week and lasted during the course of treatment. Upon withdrawal of the medication, the side effects disappeared. These side effects seem to be more common than is usually thought. The physician should be alerted to them as they can be a source of noncompliance.Keywords
