KLONOPIN
Not sure about the AD effects. I think the 5HT properties have been touted as added benefit to anxiety dx. But then Xanax -- which also has 5HT properties -- is said to have some AD effects I believe.
I did a MedLin search last week but am a little hazy on the details.

PAMELOR
I found the effects of Pamelor very tolerable. I'd say the two noticable side effects are eye fatigue (blurry vision) and dry mouth (somewhat). I didn't notice anororgasmia nor sedation -- but then I took the whole dose at bedtime. My old Merck Manual says:
..................Sedation.....Anticholonergic
Amitriptyline.....+++..........+++
Nortriptyline.....++...........++
Imipramine........++...........++
Desipramine.......+............+

STIMULANTS
Here's a few PubMed links

there are re OCD. also click on the "related articles" link at top of each to find others
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?uid=1680885&form=6&db=m&Dopt=b
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?uid=3429704&form=6&db=m&Dopt=b

this one isn't about OCD but is a case includes a case report of amphetamine withdrawl precipitating agoraphobia
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?uid=7085580&form=6&db=m&Dopt=b

here's one more just for general info on the ADs (from the current online Merck Manual)
