    I am a young man of 27 years old。From childhood I was shame
    Personality.I used to avoid people and places .I used to be so nervous
    While
    Talking with people .I always used to seek company of my friends to go
    School , market .I used to feel safe in company of other people.
    I couldn't change my this personality when I finish my high school .At
    That time I didn't know I had psychiatric problem.
    Three years ago when I start to take clomipramine I had following
    Symtoms:
    I used to check lock frequently.I used to count number frequently .I
    Used to think deeply and try to get answer of unsolved problems.for
    Example:HOw life begin in the earth?What is the origin of human
    Language?etc.When I failed to get answer of those unsolved problems I
    Used to be so
    Anxious and repeatedly think about the same matter .
    I used to be so nervous while going outside .I used to seek company of
    Other peoples to go outside.I used to feel safe in my own room and feel
    Relief.I used to avoid some places where I thought I will be more
    Anxious there.And used to walk on alternative street.

    It appears as though you are suffering OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) for one, the best medication for this is Luvox (fluvoxamine), although clomipramine is used frequently also. This is a disorder wherein you are checking the clock and counting numbers frequently. These are classic and very common symptoms of OCD.

    It also appears as though you are experiencing a form of GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) since you feel uncomfortable in social situations. Both of the meds listed above work well for these also. But there are many others that work well here, such as SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors).

    You mention that the doc wants you off the clomipramine, did s/he say why? Did they change your medication regimine?
