In reply to Clomipramine vs. Citalopram vs. Milnacipran, posted by davidh on November 23, 2001, at 13:11:19
> Has anyone had any experience comparing these drugs in the treatment of OCD? Clomipramine was quite effective for me, but carried with it an intolerable level of side effects.

Usually ssris have to be given in higher doses for OCd than depression (e.g. paxil up to 60 mg).
