> Here's one for you, my dog is on clomipramine/Calmiclam for anxiety and OCD (licking people uncontrollably, spinning, barking) and am wondering if any or you are familiar with it? He is just like the rest of us here, fobias, and whatnot. It does not seem to be working all that well, and our vet is looking into something else. It needs to be approved for animals, because we don't have insurance for our dog!!! -L
As far as approval in dogs go, only two drugs are approved for canine use: Clomicalm (clomipramine) and Anipryl (selegeline). That said, other drugs are fairly commonly used, like Prozac, Ativan, and so on.

For example, I've seen really inexpensive veterinary fluoxetine (generic prozac) at:

100 X 10 mg caps for $6.50 is a pretty good deal.
