[|AI|]  Hi... thanks for writing.I have understood your concerns.so you were diagnosed as an OCD patient before 6 years.what I feel here is the dosage of fluoxetine and clomipramine is very low and ineffective...so you shut consult your psychiatrist and ask for increasing the dose of both these medications.with increase in dosage you will find further improvement.clomipramine can be increased to 225 to 300 mg in a day and fluoxetine to 200 to 300 mg a day...another option is to continue fluoxetine and add fluoxetine, which is very effective in OCD. Fluoxetine also shut be taken in higher dosage like 80 mg in a day.in my opinion, tell your concerns to your treating psychiatrist and ask for increase in the dosage.I hope this advice will be helpful to you.best luck...
