I am suffering from OCD. My obsessions include thoughts and images of someone close dying, unwanted sexual thoughts about closed ones or Gods, and in order to get rid of these obsessions I perform some compulsions including restarting my laptops & mobiles again and again but it also doesn't help. I am on Fluoxetine 60 mg and Aripiprazole 10 mg daily. But I think Fludac is not helping me now at all. I was also on Fluvoxamine CR 100 mg before Fludac. It was effective for me but not that much, so my doc switched to Fludac 60 mg. Now my doctor has prescribed me Clomipramine 25 mg daily at night. It is helping me quite a lot. I have a query regarding my medications. I am trying to contact my doctor but he is not able to attend my call right now. My question is, can I take Fluvoxamine CR 100 mg along with Clomipramine daily as both the medications are effective for me?

All these drugs you mentined are SSRIs and prescribed for OCD. You continue taking medication to which you have shown best response, talk to the Psychiatrist who prescribed these medications s they may have all te details of your ailment. Do not self medicate.

Hello, Taking fluvoxamine with chlomipramine can increase blood levels of chlomipramine and thus can increase side effects. Do not combine drug until prescribed. Drugs if combined need to be increased gradually with caution. For any more queries you can consult me.
