I've suffered from severe OCD for most of my life, and it's very drug resistant so I know what you're talking about. I've been on four SSRI's, and 2 anti-anxiety drugs. I've taken Paxil, Wellbutrin, Prozac, and Celexa, along with Buspar and Ativan. Out of all of those only Paxil and Celexa have worked. I recommend trying both, though Paxil does have some undesirable side effects. I would not recommend behavior therapy, because in my experience, severe OCD does not do well with it. Anyway, I hope I've helped some.
