===Comparison of Effects and Adverse Effects for Clomipramine and Related Drugs===

There are large differences in selectivity of re-uptakje inhibitor drugs, as can be seen in the following table.

The blocking ratio indicates the relative effect of the agent on reuptake of 5-HT vs. noradrenaline. Fluoxetine is 3 times more selective for 5-HT than clomipramine. Clomipramine was the first TCA whose ratio favours 5-HT reuptake inhibition, and hence its title of non-selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI).

The level of anticholinergic effect is usually also decreased with increasing serotonergic selectivity.
