Hi lybrate-user, while going through this verbatim, it appears that your condition of ocd and depression is not yet remitted completely and that is probably due to undertreatment. The treatment you are getting still need to be optimized and dose of fluvoxamine should be increased to 300 mg per day. Clonazepam need to be tapered off and stopped gradually. If needed a medicine from tca class can be added as an augmentation strategy or as an add on.

Your depressive symptoms require revaluation and medicines have to be rationalised.
