Anafranil worked well for my OCD but it caused me a nervous tension that didn't let me relax. It changed my personality a bit too. Also it closed up my bladder but that may be mainly a problem in men. I think it does help with anxiety but most of the time I was also taking Klonopin. Miraculously my anxiety has abated I suppose because of the medication protecting me from it for five years and my mind finally learning it didn't need to keep causing it. So there is hope for anxiety sufferers. I'm trying Luvox now for OCD and depression. Michael73
