I'm taking clomipramine rn after a stay at residential, doing three rounds of PHP and then IOP all not very successfully. I was told by the psychiatrists and pharmacist that it is a pretty severe and last resort medication as the side effects are pretty bad and there is a high risk for intense issues with a skipped dose such as seizures. They generally try everything else (this is my fifth ocd med and nothing else worked at all) so patients don't have to live with the side effects. You should definitely ask your doctor though why she thought it would be better to switch you as I'm sure they have a reason.

I’m on ssi for my ocd I struggle to take care of myself and it just depresses me as an adult to no I can do things but have such a hard time the repetitiveness of everything is frustrating I’m just unmotivated to do stuff cause it’s so hard sometimes I just learned bout exposure and response therpay no doctor has ever told me bout it they’ve never told me ocd needs it’s own therpay and I’ve been trying to get help but insurance has been an issue I’m already not functioning well I just want to get help to get better and love a life I’ve been dealing wit this for 15 years I just want to have some relief I’ve had times we’re I was better and was happier I just want to be like that atleast I’ve been so stressed I’ve not been eating much my ears ring I feel nauseous I have anxiety and panick attacks I don’t wear bras cause I feel like I can’t inhale I had gerd and vertigo I just want relief atleast I want to ask for xanex to atleast relax and get some rest and help me feel less stressed but don’t wanna look like a drug addict but this is my life I’ve had several doctors prescribe me medications I just want some relief.

I can’t even go to a regular mental hospital cause my rituals and contamination ocd make it hard when I have a roommate trying to chnahe my clothes in the bathroom and wash my hands and them only allowing certain amounts of clothes when my dressing rituals require me to use more clothes and I wear my bras and undershirts in order and them touching my clothes bothers my contamination ocd it’s all traumatizeing and they don’t understand it I’m just tired of being misunderstood I just want to ask for xanex and let me rest and be relaxed.
