Anafranil (clomipramine) for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: After taking this medicine, I woke up one morning to realize that I felt connected to the world and when I started to do my rituals, I realized that I just didn't need to. Amazing. The problem was that I gained 40 pounds, and the high dosage necessary (over 200) scared me. I would recommend that a person try it and see if a lower dosage will work for them. If so, it's a miracle.

Anafranil (clomipramine) for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: I've been taking since last year and my obsessive compulsive disorder is treated with almost no side effects. I avoid alcohol since I started.

Anafranil (clomipramine) for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: From reading the medical literature this is probably the most efective treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder but the side effects led me to change, after a year of use, to a less taxing medication. The weight gain was too much and it made me more confrontational with others. But for bringing my initial problem down to a manageable level before switching, Anafrinil was a life saver.

Anafranil (clomipramine) for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: Anafranil completely rid me of OCD for the first time in my life. No other medication was as effective. I recommend anyone with severe OCD at least give Anafranil a try.
