hi Ruth,
Just to confuse you further, I was on Anafranil for a short period of time. Anafranil made my OCD much worse, and very quickly. It was so bad that upon feeling the affects of Anafranil, I had pulled out all my eyelashes and some of my hair within 24 hours. I later found out that I have ADHD.
The good news is that Anafranil 'undepressed' my body very quickly. My appetite did increase dramatically - to the point where I was binge eating. Even better, Anafranil gave me a great sex drive and sex life.
In the end, my impulse control problems caused me to quit Anafranil - hair pulling, binge eating (and yes, weight gain).
My sex life was incredible.
I did better on desipramine. Less side effects, no worsening of impulse control, small increase of appetite, but I could control my eating. And still, a fantastic sex life. Good luck Ruth, Janice
