Yes. I agree.

It is important to note that when treating OCD, higher dosages of standard antidepressants are often needed when compared to treating depression. It also takes longer for treatment to begin working. For instance, it often takes a minimum of 60 mg/day of Prozac taken for several months to obtain meaningful results. Hopefully, clomipramine will work faster for you. This drug is probably the most potent anti-obsessional available, and not to be overlooked in cases refractory to SSRIs.
