Clomipramine has significant anticholinergic side effects. I found them to be as potent, if not more potent, than imipramine. However, of the tricyclics, clomipramine will help the most people when treating depression. For treating OCD, it is more potent than the SSRIs. However, given its side effects, it might be better to try fluvoxamine first.
Anticholinergic side effects include:
dry mouth, dry nose, blurry vision, lowered gastrointestinal motility or constipation, urinary retention, cognitive and/or memory impairment, increased body temperature
