Oh no, your questions are by no means redundant! I appreciate the support . .
I suffer from major depressive disorder, OCD and inattentive ADD.
the clomipramine was begun with the hopes of treating the OCD and depression. I've been taking 75mg for just over four weeks now. I've seen a modest improvement in my depression, a very slight improvement in my OCD, with an unfortunate exacerbation of my ADD (I feel uncomfortably hyperactive, and am experiencing a lot less impulse control).

Cognitive impairment might be the consequence on the anticholinergic effects of clomipramine. However, things like having trouble with word finding and brain fog can just as easily be attributed to its pro-serotonergic actions.
