Obsessive Compulsive Disorde
"I&#039;ve been taking Clomipramine for a year now.  I started at 200mg and went quickly up to 300mg (the max you can take).  It gives me a very dry mouth and constipation.  Also remember that this drug needs to be given in very high dosages to work (200mg-300mg).  If a doctor just gives you 10 or 50mg, it&#039;s not going to work.  Also, this is an older drug, you likely will have to ask for it by name.  I have pure Obsessive disorder (no compulsions), and tried Prozac before this with no success.  A few days on this and I noticed a big difference.  I&#039;ve been maintaining on 300mg for a year now.  I don&#039;t like the side effects, but I won&#039;t go off of it, because it&#039;s been an amazing drug that works for me.  It took away about 90% and now I can easily manage what&#039;s left"
