I wouldn't say that I have OCD but I do have intrusive thoughts and obsessions that are virtually impossible for me to get passed;mainly hypochodriacal type obssesions.Anyway, I had tried all the ssri except Paxil and I was really skeptical that this would work since most people seem to believe,even the doctors, that they're all pretty much the same.They're wrong! It totally worked at as little a dose as 20mg.I don't know why a doctor would put you on lexapro, it's mainly for anxiety and depression while paxil is mainly for ocd and depression.All the ssri are different and not enough people realize that.sorry if you've already tried this drug. And also, there is hope, I've heard that adrafanil is supposed to be the most potent of the OCD meds.Also, luvox is supposed to be pretty good too.
