Is there an alternative medicine to clomipramine (Anafranil)? One that is stronger but pretty much does the same as clomipramine?

The main alternative would be SSRIs.

I suffer from ocd, too.
Remeron (mirtazapine) is an atypical antidepressant for the treatment of mdd (major depressive disorder). Off label use: ocd, gad, insomnia (it has strong sedative properties), ptsd and migraines.
Everyone reacts differently to medications as you are aware, for me it worked pretty well for ocd and insomnia, it may or may not be an option for you.
