Obsessive compulsive: I am empathic to “not feeling any effects’ even when taking Clomipramine, Zoloft (sertraline), (sertraline) and Risperdal. Clomipramine and Zoloft (sertraline) are primarily for depression, Clomipramine is also used for Obsessive compulsive disorder. Risperdal is for Psychosis. These medications are not primarily for social & GAD. See a psychiatrist for Diagnosis, Therapy, benefits and side effects of Medication, Breathing Relaxation

Yes, but: Neither medicine is at a full dose that should be tried: It's not at all uncommon for these doses to be too low. It would make little sense for you to switch, unless you and your doctor find another reason that you should.
