I haven't been on anafranil, but it's considered a very effective Tricyclic. It has powerful serotonin-reuptake-blocking effects, as well as other tricyclic qualities. Still, there are many different tricyclics that act somewhat differently, and might be more effective for you. Some complain that anafranil has many side-effects, especially when starting it up or increasing the dose.
Nortriptyline is an effective one that is much more noradrenergic than clomipramine/anafranil, and thus more different from SSRIs. It also may be better on side-effects.
