i have been suffering from OCD for a long time now, but recently it has become worse. it is affecting my day-to-day existence considerably! i have tried tons of different medications that are supposed to help. some have helped for a very short period of time, then it seems to get even worse.
anyone out there with this "problem", i would appreciate any help or comments you can throw my way!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Zoloft has worked wonders for me, although I am getting close to poop-out. All of the SSRIs *should* help. Also, you could try some combos.

All medicines that have potent effects on serotonin will treat OCD. The most potent one is clomipramine. A secret that few know is that Neurontin and Lamictal also work on serotonin, and thus could be effective for OCD.

If you have OCD then you really should join the OCD mailing list. Just send an email to LISTSERV@VM.MARIST.EDU with the following line in the body (the text portion) of the email:SUBSCRIBE OCD-L < your name >
