I don't know about augmentation for improving OCD symptoms. I'm not so sure it's common to mix SSRIs and Tricyclics. I too was on Anafranil and it was hard to tolerate for me. I'm assuming that's why she stopped taking it?
The way I see it, you can give the prozac a little longer, maybe another month or two, unless the state she's in is unbearable. The other suggestion is to try on of the other SSRIs. Luvox, in particular, would be what I would have her try, if I was a doctor. Many people claim that particular drug is quite effective. Another one she could try is Zoloft. They all have their own idiosyncrasies, and although Prozac may not be helping, another may.
