Luvox(Fluvoxamine) is an SSRI that's mainly used for OCD but it's also sometimes for depression & other anxiety stuff. Some think it's most specif med for OCD beisdeds the gold-standard Anafranil(Clomipramine) which is a tricyclic antidepressant that's only approved for OCD here in the US but has different off-label uses here & is approved for some of em in other countries. I tried it & it made me shaky & feel out of it mentally but those effects disappeared after being off it for a couple days & my OCD was gone for rest of the week.
I've never heard of Anafranil. I hope you find, or have found, something that works for your OCD

I tried Ritalin (officially prescribed). buth that made me very unstable.
I tried dextroamphetamine (officially prescribed), but that may me rather numb.
I tried various illegal substances including LSD, MDMA, levoamphetamine, methylone and 2-FMA (self-medicated). Those did benefit me a lot, but the stimulants to tend to be addictive and result in dependence.
Currently, I try to stay free from any medication most of the time, although I do self-medicate occasionally.
My prefered combo for alleviating the more negative Autism symtoms is a mixture of levoamphetamine, methylone and 2-FMA.
