> Hi, I have OCD that manifest istself in the form of repeated unwanted intrusive thoughts. I currently take Lexapro and Remeron to try and combat the intrusive thoughts. I also take Klnopin to help with the anxiety the thoughts create.
>
> I have tried virtually all of the SSRI's and Effexor to help with the thoughts, but they did little. I have read and researched on my own that the Drug Anafranil has been used for many years in treating intrusive ocd thoughts.
>
> I was wonering if this older drug is superior in its ability to control intrusive thoughts as compared to my current medication. I was also wondering if anyone had any success with Anafranil? Because my current meds do not fully contain my ocd thoughts. Thanks for anyone that replies.

>I would try Anafranil, it's been used for OCD in Europe for many decades. Luvox & Paxil should be tried only after Anafranil has failed IMHO, no point saving the best for last.
Cheers,
Panda.
