I don't think you want to get too excited about increasing dopamine levels, I think it overrated. Also remember that Geodeon is a dopamine receptor blocker, so taking an AP with a stimulant can be counter productive.

My first suggestion would be to swap from Clomipramine to Nortriptyline. Nort is close to Clomipramine with the SRI part removed. For side effects & weight gain I think Nort would be half as bad allowing you to take twice as much.

I think 5-HT1A agonism causes the nerve to release less serotonin. Not 100% sure on it.

Cheers,
