Anafranil / clomipramine has long been used for ocd. It is highly serotogenic, more so than any other tricyclic. I am suprised you don't have serotonin syndrome w/ all the serotogenic agents you're on...the ocd symptoms flaring up has something to do w/ that - excessive levels of serotonin cause anxiety (even though low levels cause it, that anxiety is more of a discontented feeling as opposed to anxiety).
Luvox / fluvoxamine has been approved for ocd, but was never officially approved to treat depression. Prozac also has been approved, but it's not the first line treatment.
