> The intrusive thoughts are sexual and violent. The doctor told me ADHD and OCD go hand and hand together. I confirmed this by internet research, apparently 40% of people with ADHD have OCD. How do I get rid of this problem? Will increasing Desipramine handle this disease of disordered thought and compulsion ?
I would think that clomipramine (Anafranil) would be a better choice for the OCD. Desipramine is a metabolite of clomipramine. If there is any residual ADHD, you could look at adding a stimulant.
