Hello, for ocd it should take 2-5 weeks to show full effects. Try not to skip the medications.

Dear sir, clomipramine takes effect after 2-3 weeks for ocd and depending on your symptoms improvement will have to be continued for 6-12 months. Hope you feel better soon.

Dear Suresh, Your are lucky to improve with clomipramine 25 mg. How long you need to take it - depends on the diagnosis, duration of disorder, your medical condition, your coping styles, support systems, etc. Usually in severe OCD, the treatment continues for years.
