> What about Anafranil??

>>>>Just curious do you have OCD symptoms? Anafranil,from what I know and the people I know who have used it.

-very,very powerful agent to combat OCD I am not sure of social phobia though.

-although its lumped in with the tricyclic's it's actually an SRI(serotonin reuptake inhibitor but not selective,hence the first "s" missing) with the tricyclic side effects.These can be troublesome like dizziness,high pulse,lowered blood pressure but biggest of all sedation.Doses are taken at bedtime,personally I dont find sedation a problem because I suffer from insomnia.
Like I said it is very potent and powerful but sometimes with a lot of side effects.I was actually thinking of taking a test trial with it.
some people combine it with an SSRI to boost effectiveness for instance 100 mgs of Zoloft with 50 mgs of Anafranil which makes for a very powerful combo.
take care
