I agree with Ed. First of all, the dosage of fluoxetine necessary to treat OCD can be as high as 60 mg/day. 10 mg/day is unlikely to do anything other than to increase the blood concentration of clomipramine and its active metabolite. Fortunately, many blood tests for clomipramine are actually tests for total TCA, so the metabolite would be assayed along with the parent drug.
It might be better to discontinue the fluoxetine now so that you can establish a more predictable titration of clomipramine according to its known therapeutic dosages.
