Ace- You are my hero! I absolutely love your posts and it makes me so happy that you are doing well on your beloved Nardil! I think an average dose of Celexa probably is 40 mg but we OCD'ers need higher doses of all the SSRI's. McPac- The only side effects I've really noticed are a decrease in appetite (but that could also be the klonopin we added) and a few random headaches that I never used to get. It has not cured my OCD but it has certainly quieted it down.
My pdoc recommended a book to me- it's not specifically about OCD- but he says it's a must read for anyone with OCD because it's about seperating the thoughts from the thinker. It's Called " The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle. You can also get a book of exercises based on the book. I just started reading it last night and it looks pretty good. Best to all of you, babs
