> With your level of knowledge and understanding, any doctor will certainly be challenged. Respect and confidence in them may not come easily for you. That's okay, though. I think the right doctor will earn your respect and confidence. It just might require an open mind to start with.

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.

Wow, you've got quite a cocktail. How is the Abilify working out?



Current meds: clomipramine 75mg, fluvoxamine 25mg.
