Dear lybrate-user, Clofranil is a good drug for OCD. Though it reaches the blood within few minutes, it takes 2-3 weeks to reach brain, where it needs to work. Clofranil works at a particular dose in a given patient. It may be anywhere from 50 mg to 300 mg/day. Whether you can tolerate that dose, depends on the side effects that you are able to put up with. How long you have been troubled with OCD? As soon as you take a drug, how do you expect it to act magically. There are other drugs which can be combined with or shifted from clofranil. That depends on you response and tolerance to side effects. 6 days is too short a period, to expect any result. Please continue with 50 mg of clofranil for another week and visit the psychiatrist again. OCD needs long term treatment for months together and needs frequent visits to psychiatrist.
