In reply to OCD COMPULSION AND ANAFRANIL: DOES IT HELP YOU?, posted by mills on May 6, 2003, at 11:25:33
Hi,
I don't think you're alone; my OCD doesn't fit with textbook cases either, it can be somewhat similar to yours but I always had trouble with compulsions to work-out.
I've been on and off anafranil for past twelve years. I've now been on it 3 years again and I'll never come off it again. It certainly is the most effective for me. I'm also on remeron but that helped not at all with the OCD.I think when I was 20 and first started on anafranil I did feel something of the dementia-like disorientation you speak of, but that may have been due to being on a high dose. I didn't have it when I went back on it in 1999.
Good luck!, Caroline
