What Causes Chills Post Withdrawal Of Clomipramine Tablets?
my son has been experiencing chills without a fever lately. He is 18 and fairly healthy. He runs a couple of miles 2x per week. He does drink a lot of coffee and his sleep hours are irregular though he does sleep a lot. He recently stopped taking his clomipramine an anti- depressant that he had been on for years for symptoms related to his tourette syndrome. Any ideas what the chills may be related to?

Hello,
The chills and fever does not seem to be related to withdrawal of Clomipramine tablets. These symptoms can be related to an infection. I suggest using an anti-inflammatory medication such as Acetaminophen to relieve the chills and fever. If the symptoms continue, he may need a physical examination.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
