> There is some evidence that suggests that clomipramine alone is not as effective as both clomipramine and a noradrenergic tricyclic (nortriptyline) for OCD:
..."Patients were allocated in a random fashion, 15 each to clomipramine 150 mg/ day plus nortriptyline 50 mg/day and clomipramine 150 mg/day plus placebo."
TSA,
Actually, this could as easily show that higher doses of anything do better. Do you know of any other work done in this area? And while I appreciate you posting this, it would help if you'd include all the information about these articles - especially the authors and their affiliation. I agree with Spike that it is important to consider the source.
