RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR ANAFRANIL | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
4 | Severe OCD | Increased thirst, orgasmic dysfunction, orthostatic hypotension, constipation | Was on 80mg of Prozac for 25 years and basically OCD symptom-free. Prozac stopped working and was put on 200mg Luvox. Helped a lot with OCD but made me so tired I fell asleep briefly behind the wheel once. Now on max dose of Anafranil for OCD (250mg). It’s lights out for OCD but with really annoying side effects. It’s only been three months but I am thinking of going back to an SSRI like Zoloft and see if that helps with fewer side effects. If not, I’ll probably be on Clomipramime for life. It’s all about trade-offs since no med is perfect I think. | 49 | 3 days 250mg | 3/23/2020 | 3 | Anxiety | Blood pressure fluctuation | 70 | 3 days 25 | 4/7/2020 | 5 | Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder | Depression, fatigue, tiredness | I've tried just about every SSRI available and nothing has ever subsided by OCD the way Anafranil does. I would go as far to call this medication a life-saver. If you're willing to brace some bad depression for the first two months or so of taking it, the effects are very much worth it. | F | 16 | 1.5 years 125 MG 1X day | 5/26/2020 | 5 | Extreme Anxiety, OCD | Brain Zapping on and off. Extremely sensitive skin unable to sunbathe burn very easily even when using high factor sun cream. | Life changing! Had many problems with SSRIs over the past 10 years I was allergic to everything but Anafranil along side Lamotrigine is a game changer for me and my family. I am much better person and feel so much better than ever before. | F | 39 | 2 years 50 MG | 5/28/2020 | 4 | Panic disorder | Sweating, weight gain, loss of libido | Works incredibly well for panic disorder but weight gain and loss of libido are severe. | M | 53 | 10 years 75mg 1X day | 8/24/2020 | 1 | Somatic OCD | Triggered an autoimmune disorder, dangerous lack of concern for self, suicidal ideation, memory loss, brain zaps, seizures, heart damage, began serious self-harming. | This medication is the turning point where my life fell apart and everything along with it. The side effects were severe and some have been permanent over 5 years later. I have almost no memory of the time I was on it. I now have a permanent autoimmune disorder that this medication set off that I will spend the rest of my life fighting to keep it from killing me. The skin on my arms is destroyed, have damage to the side of my head and several arteries, and it made my OCD a million times worse. I wish I could sue due to how much this medication ruined my life, if only to pay for the medical bills it caused me to rack up (and continue to rack up). | F | 25 | 1 years 1X day | 11/7/2020 | 5 | OCD | Side effects were gone within the first couple of week. The only annoying is constipation. | Much calmer and happier overall. It didn't remove OCD thoughts, but definitely helped with panic reactions and anxious behaviour. | F | 34 | 2 days 75 mg 1X day | 11/17/2020 | 5 | OCD and anxiety | Flushing | They changed my life enabling me to live with OCD pure O I dread to think how I would have managed without them. | F | 62 | 40 years 25 MG 1X day | 11/21/2020 | 3 | Anxiety ocd | Headache Muscle soreness Stomachache Bitter taste in mouth | Been on 6 antidepressants Non worked Last resort was clomiipramine and it is somewhat better then the others I haven't been on it long enough I guess I start my 10th week today Still getting side effects remaining hopeful I hear it takes time to work for some Best luck to us in need of peace | F | 16 | 3 months 50 mg 1X day | 5/24/2021 | 5 | Ocd, depression, anxiety | No side effects | Most effective medication for me | M | 28 | 1 years 250-300 mg 1X day | 5/26/2021 | 2 | Ocd | Terrible heartburn, brain fog and nausea. Rather live with Ocd than take anymore of this evil medication | 58 | 4 weeks 25 1X day | 1/8/2022 | 5 | depression anxiety panic | slight constipation seems only one | helps very well with my mental problems | M | 68 | 2 years 10 mg 1X day | 1/7/2023 | 1 | Premature ejaculation ( v dangerous) | I took anafranil I start shivering and feel nusea after 3 hours I got massive heart attack I fell down broke my jaw, I admitted in hospital for 5 day they put stents, I was about to die, please ban this medicine .Thank you | Please don't sell this medicine. If any death occur management is responsible for that. | M | 51 | 4 days 10mg 1X day | 10/7/2023 |
