In reply to Will adding Anafranil to Celexa help with OCD?, posted by tampagirl70 on May 13, 2005, at 11:54:07
No it could help. Celexa is an SSRI like Prozac. Anafranil is a tricyclic with serotonin and norepinephrine properties. I have taken Anafranil in the past and it helped when none of the SSRI's would help. I recommend you keep trying it. If it doesn't help, I would recommend Effexor. I am obsessive-compulsive also, I take it and it's the only thing that helps. I started taking it when Anafranil pooped out on me unfortunately.
> For over 4 years my OCD was under control with celexa. Since late last year, I've been up and down a lot and this week have been WAAAAY down. My pdoc added anafranil on Monday, 25mg, working up to 150mg. Will this addition help with the OCD or is it just like adding more celexa?
