I've been on Anafranil for several months and Prozac for several years. They weren't kidding when they said Anafranil had strong side effects. I suffer dry mouth, constipation, ringing in the ears, etc. Most significantly is the weight loss. I've dropped 30 lbs since I began taking Anafranil. My OCD symptoms are gone though (unless I'm under great stress, then they come back temporarily). I am also curious about long term effects, because as long as it's helping my OCD I'd like to stay on the meds.
Wondering if taking anafranil and zoloft daily is necessary. I don't always take my medicine. It seems I take it about 4 times per week instead of everyday. My symptoms are almost completely gone. Does anyone know if this is damaging to not take these meds daily. As far as OCD goes, I am absolutely fine. But the side effects are brutal. I am drousy all the time, constipated, get headaches, and my eyes get weird looking. I can't loose weight for the life of me. Anyway, I have been on these meds for a very long time and am concerned for my long term health. If anyone knows anything that would be great.
