Anafranil 75 mg

Anafranil (Clomipramine) is a tricyclic antidepressant. It affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced.
Anafranil belongs to a class of medications called tricyclic antidepressants. It is not entirely clear how the medication works. It does affect several chemicals in the brain, including serotonin and norepinephrine. It is thought that perhaps Anafranil allows these chemicals to stay in the brain longer, which can help with symptoms of OCD.
Even though the medication is classified as a tricyclic antidepressant (due the chemical structure of the molecule), it actually acts much like a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). SSRIs are a newer group of antidepressant medications, and many people consider Anafranil to be an SSRI, even though it is technically a tricyclic antidepressant.
