I see you are: Diagnosed with ocd. The only listed medication is desipramine. Was that prescribed for your ocd? That is a tricyclic antidepressant. Have you ever been treated with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor? Are you being followed by a psychiatrist? If not, that might be a good place to start.
