clinic Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) It seems like my ocd is worsening on clozapine and studies[1] agree ocd flares up in some patients on clozapine. Its hard to stop a med which had you stable for 6 years. But my ocd is very bad now. Is there any other antipsychotic as powerful as clozapine which i can try ?

CeremonyNewOrder Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I'm on a phone and can't see your meds. Do you or have you thought of trying an antidepressant that works for OCD? Therapy too. I take clozapine too and have bad OCD but it existed before the clozapine. Never heard of it making OCD worst. If your stable on clozapine, I'd be very careful about changing antipsychotics.

clinic Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 Im going to try therapy now. Someone told me exposure and response prevention is gold standard therapy for OCD. Is it even better than meds ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
