Curious to get feedback (I know it will vary) on which meds have best rep or are targeted most for depression that also brings obssessive, racing thoughts. I cannot quiet my mind, I cannot relax. Any suggestions welcomed.

I would like to put in a recommendation for Zyprexa, which _does_ work on serotonin, thus making it acceptable as an anti-OCD and anti-anxiety agent: http://www.dr-bob.org/tips/split/Antidep-effects-of-antipsy.html

I also have depression which brings on obsessive thoughts... What has worked for me so far is immipramine (before the SSRI's came out) and Prozac. I am now on Effexor but the thoughts are still there so I am trying to switch back to Prozac.
With the right meds, the racing thoughts will calm down.
Good luck.
