Thanks for response Ed!
I've actually had some major life stresses this week, and experienced quite a setback. I have more of the "Pure-O" OCD, and the flare up has been intense, especially these past few months.... lots of hyper arousal, ruminating thoughts, and anxiety. I really hope that the clomipramine kicks in and starts to ease it.
I know that my PDOC definitely will not exceed 10 MGS of prozac (which is reassuring as far as toxicity issues go). I am also fairly sure that my PDOC will check blood levels, but I will be sure to ask about that if it's not brought up.I've considered asking to up my Gabapentin (I'm on a tiny dose of 300 MGS total a day) but am wondering if that would really be beneficial at all. My biggest goal right now is to ease the anxiety and clear my mind of all the ruminations and other nonesense. If that can happen and things can cool down, I am hopeful that the clomipramine will have a chance to kick in and ease some of the OCD issues.
Sorry for the long, rambling post :)
