I am planning for pregnancy but I am an OCD patient on the prescription of clofranil 50 mg. Is it safe to use clofranil during pregnancy? Whether to discontinue it's usage now?

Pregnancy must not be messed with. Instead of meds go for therapy to manage ocd and depression I believe you should discuss your concerns in detail with a mental health professional to gain an insight about nature of problem and ways to overcome it through psychotheraputic techniques consult with me or any psychologist for therapy and counseling connect with me through text or audio on Lybrate app

Don't know think about leaving the medicine on your own. Go back to the psychiatrist who had prescribed you the medication. It is recommended not to take any psychiatric medication during pregnancy. Opt for psychotherapy instead.
