Anafranil is the only drug that works for me on OCD like worry and obsessions, depression, derealization and even dizziness, shyness and other odd symptoms. To anyone having problems with side effects - you might be surprised at the amount of benefit gotten by just 25mg a day. That's all I take - at 50 I'm bouncing off the walls and have troubling side effects. I have almost none at 25 but the benefit is profound for me. I've tried all of the SSRI's + Effexor and even bipolar and ADD drugs and an MRI. I just have so many symptoms I don't care what class of med might work - but only Anafranil does. It's in a class by itself as far as I'm concerened. Luvox and Prozac had a "good feeling" effect but they missed the mark on what was wrong with me and they both made me terribly sleepy. Anafranil targets whatever imbalance I have and doesn't effect my sleep at 25mg. (At 50mg it still wasn't too bad on sleep except that I never dreamed.) So if Anafranil is helpful to you mentally but has bad side effects you might want to try just a small dose such as 25mg a day. It works for me. Michael73
