If you are currently taking a tricyclic antidepressant Clomipramine 50mg per daycould you benefit from taking 5-HTP at the same time or as with SSRI's should this action be monitored by your doctor?

50mg of clomipramine (Anafranil) is not a therapeutic dose.
Usual dosages are 150mg-300mg.
Better try SSRIs, SNRIs, Wellbutrin or others before clomipramine, because it has many and strong side effects. However clomipramine is a very strong anti-depressant, it would reduce anxiety and it is the most potent med for OCD.
5HTP should have far fewer side effects than clomipramine, but it has not been thoroughly been studied. For this reason, it is unlikely that a doctor would recommend it.
ALWAYS work with your doctor. If you have no results, change doctors, but don't do anything on yourself.
