OCD and ADHD

Benefited completely! how ever I need to be pretty aware of what my goals are for the day in order to make the best use of them, sometimes when I’m not I might spend most of my time on my compulsions (obsessive cleaning). But overall it helps me with so much in my life I recommend you try and monitor with your psych! Hope this helps!

A while ago I decided to go onto antidepressants after getting really low with OCD, and I tried many to no effect. I then tried clomipramine and got on really well with it (I still do). I changed therapists a few months ago and now see a doctor, she told me that I have adhd (now diagnosed) and strangely enough- clomipramine is a medication that is used for treating ADHD also. Which is probably why this is the medication that’s worked so well for me. I’m only on a low dose and feel it needs to be increased but in comparison to other meds I’ve been on where I’ve been taking more than double the strength of what I’m on now…it’s great.

My stimulants stopped working after a while due to my OCD
