I found Zoloft to be almost free of cognitive and affective side effects, even at 200mg. It was real clean.
With clomipramine, I think you'll find that the anticholinergic side effects will diminish with time. Go low and slow. Aside from the potential of heart block or arhythmias in vulnerable individuals, I would say that it is constipation that can become an important issue with some people. The rest are more nuissances than anything else. I would go for this drug if I had OCD unresponsive to SSRIs. I would also go to it if SSRI induced apathy and amotivation became significant factors in quality of life.
