My OCD was really getting the better of me after I became convinced that both the new house my wife and me bought AND our current rental house are asbestos infested ('infested' on a subjective level).
I jumped to taking clomipramine, first 50mg for two days, then 75mg since yesterday night. I lowered my Lexapro to 5mg.
I seem to tolerate the drug much better than the last time I tried it. I had some tremors today, dry mouth, extra anxiety - but also the onset of better mood, better coping ability, more humour.
I also still take 25mg of amitriptyline, and there may be some synergy with the clomipramine. Of course the 5mg of Lexapro will also do its thing.
For an emergency med, I think clomipramine deserves both my thumbs up.
Just wanted to let y'all know.
