It takes 7-10 days to get clomipramine completely wash away from your body. Withdrawal symptoms usually last for 1-2 weeks.

Dear Lybrate-User, you may be suffering from schizoaffective disorder - may not be just depression. Since you are on lithium as mood stabiliser, your mania may not be induced by clomipramine. It might be in the course of the disorder itself. Since you are in hypomanic phase, you don't need clomipramine. You can stop 25 mg fully. Nausea and "coming problems" may not withdrawal since you took 1/4 tablet the previous day.
