Anafranil® is a drug used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in adults, teens, and children. It is not entirely clear how the medication works, but it is believed that Anafranil causes certain chemicals in the brain (norepinephrine and serotonin) to stay in the brain longer, which can help alleviate symptoms of OCD. Anafranil is available as a capsule and is usually taken one to three times a day. Possible side include headaches, dizziness, and drowsiness.
