Follow with Psychiat: It is very difficult for us to advice you about changes in your treartment for OCD.you are taking Clomipramine for ocd.And you are having problem with your memory.There are other choices like fluoxetine,luvox (fluvoxamine),or sertraline along with counseling.I suggest you follow up with your Psychiatrist for change in your meds and continue counselling
