I can't make a diagnosis but clomipramine does make you drowsy. So I guess it's likely to be the clomipramine. It can make you feel drowsy no matter what the dose!

I took clomipramine for some years and was known to fall asleep over my desk at work! I got pretty much accustomed to it, and thought it a fair trade off for controlling my OCD, but I really noticed the difference when I was switched to sertraline.

Try not to worry about it. Apart from the side effects of the clomipramine, OCD in itself can make you tired.
