Major depression with thyroid disorder.

Doctor diagnosed me with Obsessive compulsion disorder and depression. Along with this I had thyroid disorder also and taking 100 mcg thyronom daily. My depression is since I was 20 years old , it can be say 20 year old depression . I have been on medicine for some time on and off. Now I started to took medicine continuously. Doctor has given me fluoxetine 80 Mg per day morning (4-X-X),Clomipramine 50mg (X-X-2) Respiredone 1 mg at night . I can feel i am less depressed than before but the main problem is I have extreme fatigue , I felt it very difficult to travel highty places got extremelly tired.I told this to doctor but he  is not reducing medicine.I am having difficult on my daily life with this extreme fatigue . I would be more than thankfull if anyone know how to remove this fatigue.

So, what about switching the time of day you take the fluoxetine? My son takes that at night.  There can be a trade off as being tired is not as bad as depression but understand that it is cumbersome.  Prozac/fluoxetine is a great medication and you can switch when you take it for better energy.  When do you take the clomipramine? That's a trycyclic agent for ocd.  I would talk to your doctor about timing of meds.  Also, this may sound strange but if you don't exercise, start. It gives one more energy overall,  Eating well, getting proper nutrition too.  You mention thyroid.  Is your thyroid function low?

Yes my thyroid was low and i am taking 100 mcg of thyroxine daily. Main problem is with this fatigue I can not walk on 4,5 storey building I get tired with heavy pounding heart.

That's a lot of fatigue.  I would talk to your doctor about this.  It sounds physical and that can be from the thyroid if the med is not quite working well enough for you or it could be because of a whole picture of nutrition, mood, conditioning, etc. or it could be a lethargy from your mood alone.
