> I have been taking Luvox for my OCD and I feel it hasnt been helping much. My P-doc says that he might add a antipsychotic to the Luvox and it might help the ocd. Why an antipsychotic? If so, he has mentioned either Risperdal or Zyprexa - which one is better?

Zyprexa will cause a huge weight gain in just about everyone who takes it. I've been on both. Risperdal is great, however if you are female you may have to take Bromocriptine to counteract elevated prolactin levels. Good luckMimi P.S. I currently take Seroquel which has neither effect.
