Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
I was diagnosed with OCD in 2006. I am taking Fludac 60 mg and Arzu 10 10 mg daily. I think that Fludac is not helping me anymore, it's causing headaches. I was also on Frext CR 100 mg, and it showed a little improvement in my OCD. Since the improvement was not great my doc switched to Fludac. I am trying to contact my doctor but is unavailable right row. I also consulted online and was told to take Clonil 25 mg daily. My question is that is it to safe take both Frext CR and Clonil together?
Hello.
Frext (Fluvoxamine) is considered the first line of treatment for OCD alongside Clonil (Clomipramine) and this is a well documented fact.
When there's less than expected improvement in clinical symptoms of OCD with Frext, the next logical step is to try the Frext + Clonil combination. This combination is also documented to be well tolerated and effective in most cases. It is recommended that you monitor ECG and EEG in a few cases. Overall, the combination is well tolerated.
Next Steps
Please consult your prescribing Psychiatrist to discuss shifting on the said combination treatment.
I hope this helps.
