Dropping an antidepressant (especially abruptly) can lead to a rebound euthymic or even hypomanic episode. Be very careful with this. It is how meds often get a bad rap. 'I feel so much better OFF the pills'. It would be much safer if youre doing it with your doc onboard.
Drugs that are recommended for OCD seem to be SSRI's with sigma-1 affinity. Other drugs that do this are antipsychotics like haldol.
As for the insomnia and fatigue, NRIs can be used. NRIs also can raise blood pressure. Ive also heard amphetamine is common.
