Clomipramine

[Links54]

My doctor has recommended the drug clomipramine and I will be changing to it soon. I suffer from severe depression, OCD, BDD and SP. Does anyone else take this drug and have you found it helpful?

It stands for body dysmorphic disorder, it's when you are highly critical of your appearance. I take another drug called risperidone for it.

same here. Im repulsed by what i see in the mirror. It makes me feel sick and SI and rubbish. Not v good at all. But isn't BDD, when your critical of an imagined fault. Like you feel your skin is red when it isnt, so you cover it up with makeup (read suicide junkie by stephen (cant remember second name) A little like anorexics and bulemics. They think they're really fat etc?

I think im getting OCD's aswell. Im getting these little problems like i have to sleep in certain ways. My feet must always face the opposite way to the door. And i can't have a crumb on my clothes from eating food. And a load of other more proper compulsive little things that i can't for he lifeof me remember atm.
