I'm sorry to interrupt and ask a question that may have already been addressed, but how does your OCD manifest? Is it obsessions and ruminations only, or is there a compulsive counterpart including rituals?
I don't know. I am still looking at Latuda if you are ruminating and not experiencing compulsions. I have not researched this possibility well enough to recommend it, though. I would try the Brintellix first.
How did you respond to Luvox and clomipramine?
Perhaps Phiddipus can comment on combining Brintellix and nortriptyline. You would be adding NRI + 5-HT2a antagonism. Both drugs are metabolized by the same enzyme (CYP450 2D6), though. You might have to reduce the dosage of nortriptyline. With nortriptyline, you can get blood tests to use as a guideline for dosing. Adding the nortriptyline might help with depression, ruminations, and the anxiety that accompanies depression (as opposed to an anxiety disorder).
