It reduced to a degree my anxiety, but also reduced any motivation I had. Had very painful abdominal reflux ( pain 9/10), which pain killers reduced to 7/10, hot burning stomach acid, burping and trapped wind. Belly felt solid like SEVERE colic. Due to long half life, endured this for two days! | I would not try this drug again. If I had to I would only take 10mg and stock up with lots of pain relief and antacids. | F | 50 | 1 days 25mg 1X O | 4/24/2011 | 1 | OCD | Nausea, heart palpations, vision, sickness, dizzy, blood issues, | Took for one day insomia bad sickness to avoid this crap mellows you out but has sides | M | 24 | 1 days 25 MG | 12/21/2015 | 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 | 1 | ocd | Extreme insomnia,Excessive thirst, | M | 28 | 2 days 25 1X day | 8/17/2019 | 1 | Depression, Anxiety ,Panic attacks | Paranoia, Dizziness, Did not sleep Head ache, Lack of hunger, Heart feels like its beating wrong, Jittery, equilibrium is off Horrible feeling | F | 23 | 2 days | 6/19/2009 | 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 | 2 | Anxiety, OCD, Panic Attacks | Terrible nausea, zero energy, and extremely sleepy, Zombie-Like state, very dry mouth. | I have tried to go on this drug twice without success due to the bad side effects. I was only on it twice for 2 days each but could not handle the horrible feelings. May work for some but not for me. I even had to special order this drug since it is not readily available at most pharmacies. | M | 63 | 4 days | 8/6/2009 | 1 | Tinnitus | Nausea, myoclonus, hypothermia, insomnia, anal itching. | I have been suffering from a low pitch tinnitus in my right ear for the past 4 years and have tried numerous drugs without much success. I thought I'd give this one a try after reading that tricyclic antidepressants have helped some people get rid of their tinnitus. Well, in my case we'll never know. The side effects were so bad (esp. the nausea, insomnia and hypothermia) that I gave up after only 4 days. The tinnitus bothers me, the Anafranil however made me really sick. You do feel high on this drug though so there's definitely an antidepressant effect there, hidden beneath all the nasty side effects. | M | 42 | 4 days 25 MG 1X day | 11/24/2015 | 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 | 5 | yes | i gained alot of weight(about60lbs), slept alot 10-12hrs a day and had to take naps, blurry vision, i had no physical motivation and always felt lazy, dizzy spells, no sex drive or intrest in sex, sweated alot | F | 31 | 5 days | 4/30/2006 |
ANAFRANIL (CLOMIPRAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE): Clomipramine is used to treat obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). It helps decrease persistent/unwanted thoughts (obsessions), and it helps reduce the urge to perform repeated tasks (compulsions such as hand-washing, counting, checking) that interfere with daily living. This medication belongs to a class of medications called tricyclic antidepressants. It works by restoring the balance of certain natural substances (serotonin, among others) in the brain. FDA Approval Date: 1989-12-29 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
