Anafranil (clomipramine) typically begins to show some effects within 1 to 2 weeks of starting the medication. However, it may take 4 to 6 weeks, or sometimes longer, to experience the full therapeutic benefits, especially for conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It's important for patients to continue taking the medication as prescribed and consult their healthcare provider if they have concerns about its effectiveness.
