Chlomipramine is considered one of the most effective medication for the treatment of OCD, although i don't think that it helped me. Not to say that it made the symptoms of OCD worse.
I use to take it some years ago before SSRIs became popular. The biggest problem with it is its side-effect. It has strong anti-cholinergic action (constripation, dry mouth, photophobia, delirium) and it made me very nauseous.

Since you say that you have anxiety you must not take chlomipramine alone! It will make you even more anxious! You have to take it along with a sedative, like a benzodiazepine.
