I have been on clomipramine for more than 3 years, and it has worked very well for me and my OCD. Main side effect for me is constipation.

Was hospitalized for 8 days. The unwanted thought took over and I vomited each time the thought entered my mind. Luvox didn't help much but Ananfranil is really helping so far.

Comment:
1 dose- 3 to 4 hours later I had severe burning and stinging under the skin, especially under the scalp and back of the neck, uncontrollable shaking, rapid heart rate, extreme nausea, profuse sweating, dizzy and couldn't get up off the floor for almost an hour. Went to hospital. All intolerance side effects of medication. Terrifying!
