In reply to Anyone tried Anafranil, posted by linkadge on June 2, 2004, at 21:51:01
Hi
Anafranil seems to be the best OCD medication for patients like me. I am not using it now, but was on it for a long time. The only problem with it was dry mouth and delayed ejaculation(Which my wife enjoyed). I didn't experience any tachycardia while on it. Nortryptiline and desipramine, both have high affinity on noradrenaline, while clomipramine mainly targets serotonin. Tachycardia is a problem with noradrenergic drugs. If you are too concerened with it, try to add prazosine or doxazosine at low doses. Don't give up a medication if you find it effective, but has mild treatable problem.
PLS
