Hi, I used these forums around 2010/2011. Back then I was on Sertraline.
I am now 28 and I have been on a number of meds for OCD through out my life. I have recently been moved onto Clomipramine. I am currently on 100mg a day and started gradually from 10mg a day to 20 to 30 to 40 to 50 to 75 to 100.
I think the plan is to get me to around 150mg a day.
Um, I get like these feelings in my head and body, I've been getting them for a month now and I have named it "Coocooning" Like a Coocoon, hatching at least trying to. My brain feels like someone is trying to burst out and I am having some existential issues. I said to my Psych, I feel like i'm stuck in a loading screen waiting to reach the next level. Or like a real comfy elevator which is my room waiting to take me to a new level. Throughout the day I get moments in my brain where I just go "AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" I feel like I'm gonna explode sometimes and I have no idea what's going on. How long do I Coocoon for before I feel a difference?
Everyone I read about says around the 6 week mark you'll notice a difference, only thing I notice that has changed is I get outta bed a lot more these days. The intrusive thoughts, those assholes are still kicking me at every turn. I don't mean to sound crazy, I just don't know what the hell is going on in my head these days.
Tldr: Whats your experience with the transition on to Clomipramine and when did you notice a change?
