Right in our first encounter, I mentioned the Luvox-clomipramine combination, and he immediately remarked that such a combo is a rational one because of Luvox' lowering of blood levels of desmethylclomipramine, the noradrenergic metabolite that probably doesn't contribute to the drug's anti-OCD potential. Just the fact that he knew about this interaction by head was enough for him to gain my trust in his being grounded in pharmacotherapy.
