Eeeeek! I never have had that happen, but I imagine that dogs can have different chemistries and have a different reaction to any med. Maybe it's just the med you've tried so far. I bet there's something that would work better. I am sure there are other things besides Clomicalm out there. I also like using flower essences in my dogs' water bowl. There's one company that makes an essence for everything from abuse to anxiety and beyond. I think the company is Green Hope Gardens, I'd have to look, but I buy it at my health food store.
