jono, Your post wasn't rude at all.. I hope my response didn't seem defensive: ) You're absolutely right in that it would make sense to increase the dose of lexapro. I'm just one of those rare slow metabolizers unfortunately: / I like your suggestion of low dose clomipramine. I think it's a good choice as I'm pretty desperate for relief from the ocd and 12.5mg has worked for me in the past. I just have to learn to cope with the side-effects from it.
I think I might switch to librium (or possibly valium?) as well. I've been wanting to taper off klonopin completely and librium sounds like a good alternative. Thank you for the suggestions. Much appreciated!
