Scared to start new med (clomipramine)
I had covid in 2020. I was able to get the regeneron infusion, so the initial infection wasn't awful. Although, it led me to have worsening mental health issues like ocd. In 2021, for two years my psychiatrist (at the time) tried me on meds. multiple meds. and every time I had horrible side effects. some which landed me in the er due to serotonin syndrome. They put ssri/snri meds as an allergy in my records.
I had a break from all medications except ativan. I was prescribed .5, 2-3 times daily. well, a few deaths in my family happened and I've gotten worse. My psychiatrist ordered clomipramine for me to try. I've had it in my possession for 3 days and I can't get myself to take it! I read the side effects and they didnt seem awful. Not until my psychiatrist said in a month I'll get an EKG to make sure everything is okay. I know I need to try it, but im just so scared. :(
