Brief Answer:
The drugs are safe to use.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for asking again

Etizolam is benzodiazepine and is considered as relatively safe drug. But if used regularly for more than 4 weeks without proper supervision then the drug might result in dependence. Over all the drug is safe and free of serious side effects. Sudden stoppage after regular use results in withdrawal so proper tapering should be done.

Clomipramine is a TCA and not addictive. The drug is known to cause sedation,weight gain etc common side effects. The drug can increase the risk of heart conditions but in commonly prescribed doses the drug is safe to use. So no need to worry.

Thanks, Still have doubts please ask again.
