There is no clear cut criteria when to stop tab. Clomipramine. But as far as I am concerned, you should take it for alteast 3 months n then gradually taper off it.
But if you have achieved more control over ejeculation and you are confident enough to perform well without it then you can gradually taper off it n stop it.

Yes you need to continue medications for OCD fro many years, may be life long. As you said clomipramine produces severe sexual dysfunction, but now newer drugs with lesser of these side effects have come. Discuss with your psychiatrist freely and seek and try alternative medications. All the best.

It can help you. But this is antidepressent and monitoring by doctor is needed.
Mentally you should be stong and give positive commend. Ask your close friend to stop you by symbole or a word.
You have to take steps and make up your strong mind set to over come this condition.

Rtms is not a established mode of treatment. For some resistant cases it is tried but the results in studies so far r not very strongly favorable. It is a costly treatment. The money you r thinking of investing in this can be more suitably utilized in consulting a good psychotherapist who can give way better results den rtms.

It seems like you are on medications for ocd, depression and anxiety for the last 2 years. You also seem to mention that you have not improved. It may be worthwhile using different medications since you are already optimized on good doses of all the medications you mention. Also it is worth going through your history before giving any suggestions here. We welcome your questions and any concerns you may have regarding your treatment.
Look forward to hearing from you. If you need help with boo...more

I have been on antidepressants for past 11 years for anxiety disorder. I was on escitalopram for last 3 years and it stopped working. My current psychiatrist started me on buspirone, clomipramine, fluvoxamine and clonazepam. I got some improvement and reached the doses buspirone 10 mg 1-0-1, fluvoxamine 100 mg 1-0-1, clomipramine 75 mg 0-0-1 and clonazepam 0.25 1-0-1 I was having intolerable side effects and I missed one dose of clomipramine and problems started again. I told my psychiatrist that only escitalopram and duloxine had worked for me. Then he stopped buspirone and clomipramine and reduced fluvoxamine dose to 100 mg once and started escitalopram at 20 mg directly and duloxetine 20 mg two times and clonazepam 0.25 3 times. I am having a weird mood and not able to control my negative thoughts after that switch. Was it a correct method to stop 2 medicines abruptly and starting 2 other meds at high doses?

Hello Lybrate user,
happy to hear that you r taking medicine for the anxiety problem. According to the current symptoms psychiatrist started the new medicine. It will take some time to get relief from symptoms which you are currently going through. After 1 week if still you r having the same problem then need to consult with the Dr. & let him know about your current symptoms.
Thank you, have a great day and have a speedy recovery.

Dear lybrate-user,
MDD and OCD are chronic disorders needing long term treatment. Just taking a SSRI or SNRI may not improve fully. You need to do ERP (exposure and response prevention) therapy also in addition. Clomipramine needs to be escalated to 300-400 mg/day if you can tolerate the side effects. You doctor is doing that slowly so that your get used to side effects. She/he is also using other antidepressants, my be in low dose to increase your tolerance. Initial feeling better will be t...more
