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)

 5  OCD anxiety My 16 year old son uses this and he has shown literally no side affects at a 50-75Mg. dose. At first his heart raced some but that quickly disappeared. My son has used it now for 1 year. This medicine is an older tricyclic that has a good track record for OCD. We are satisfied but if you use a little anxiety med with it like Ativan it seems to make it really work well.Helps greatly ,his obsessive thoughts M 16 1 years

 5  Depression, Anxiety Dry Mouth, Anorgasmia I was suffering for about 5months from Depression, Anxiety, Phobia and Intrusive thoughts. I started to feel better 1 day after taking Anafranil (25mg). After 5 weeks, I increased the dose to 50mg daily. I feel much better. My anxiety symptoms and depression are gone, and intrusive thoughts have diminshed immensly. I'd reccomend this to anyone who suffers these symptoms. M 41 8 weeks
