Hi Francesco
Welcome back to p-babble :)
I remember you saying that it's hard to get stimulants prescribed in Italy..........so I guess it's good that Anafranil works :)
Clomipramine (Anafranil) has a metabolite which acts as an NE reuptake inhibitor. This might help ADHD.
Desipramine (Nortimil) is the best established tricyclic antidepressant for ADHD. In general, I would expect it to be much more effective that clomipramine (Anafranil), but there are always exceptions! Have you tried it? It usually has less side effects than Anafranil eg. less drowsiness, less dry mouth.
