Onset of action is 4 or more weeks. The dose of Clomipramine may need to be increased from an initial dose rate once daily, to a higher dose rate if initial response is insufficient after 6-8 weeks. Higher doses are associated with increased adverse effects such as sedation and it is important that genuine response to therapy is not confused with undesirable profound sedative effects which will suppress all sorts of behaviour. Sensitivity of cats to TCAs is generally higher than in dogs as they use glucuronidation to metabolise them<ref>Overall, K.L., 2004.
