It is the only antidepressant that adequately treated my anxiety and OCD.
>I heard Clomipramine can be good with anxiety, depression and some OCD
Clomipramine is considered the 'gold' standard for the treatment of depression and OCD

I have lost weight on Clomipramine. Though it has not affected my libido it has left me anorgasmic (unable to orgasm) which is extremely frustrating. Another side effect I got was EPS.
>Also what tends to be the standard dose for this >stuff? Is it 50 or 75mg?Up to 150 mg for depression and up to 250 mg for the treatment of OCD.
