Hi Everyone

been suffering with ROCD for about 15 years now (i`m 37)

gotten worse in the past 5 years and ive just about had enough of living like this

have tried many different medications

i`m currently on Clomipramine, just started taking 100mg about 2 hours ago
was told to go up in stages, started at 10mg, for 5 days, 25mg for 7 days, then 50mg for 7 days, and then up to 100mg

so far, i`m having these problems and i don't know what to do

feeling more depressed and more fedup than Ive ever felt
it feels like im in my own world and distant from everyone else in a peculiar way
Drowsiness during the day
Dry mouth
Sweating (this is very very bad!)
constipation (i hate this!!)
Changes in appetite.
Headache
Dizziness
Confusion
Sleep disturbances (insomnia)
Anxiety
Hot flushes
Weight gain
Sexual problems


i was told by my psychiatrist to try Clomipramine as its an older type drug and really helps people with OCD such as myself
