Clomipramine is still prescribed as an alternative to SSRIs. I’ve tried it and several SSRIs unsuccessfully. I’m currently on Effexor – started two weeks ago – which is an SNRI. I’m not familiar with the therapy you mention and as I’m pretty switched on when it comes to treatment for OCD I doubt it’s available through the NHS. In terms of therapy not one therapist in 25 years suggested there were reasons causing difficulties with ERP as an example. I started seeing a therapist three months ago privately who has an integrative approach which includes CBT and Schema therapy and what we’ve discussed is making a lot of sense to me. There are ways of accessing treatment which can include writing letters or even getting your MP involved.
