Butalbital, acetaminophen and caffeine may enhance the effects of: other narcotic analgesics, alcohol, general anesthetics, tranquilizers such as chlordiazepoxide, sedative-hypnotics, or other CNS depressants, causing increased CNS depression.
From the Clomipramine (CLOMIPRAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE) label · effective 2024-11-26
Close supervision and careful adjustment of dosage are required when clomipramine hydrochloride capsules are administered with anticholinergic or sympathomimetic drugs.
…several closely related tricyclic antidepressants have been reported to be increased by the concomitant administration of methylphenidate or hepatic enzyme inhibitors (e.g., cimetidine, fluoxetine) and decreased by the concomitant administration of hepatic enzyme inducers (e.g., barbiturates, phenytoin), and such an effect may be anticipated with CMI as well.
