Abstract
1.
1. The efficacy of clomipramine hydrochloride in severe obsessive compulsive neurosis (OCN) was compared with that of amitriptyline in a four week randomized double-blind trial.
2.
2. Clomipramine but not amitriptyline produced statistically significant improvement in the obsessive symptoms, depression and anxiety.
3.
3. The lack of significant effect of amitriptyline on anxiety and depression may be due to its inability to improve the primary obsessive symptoms.
4.
4. No serious adverse effects were encountered in either drug group.
