In reply to Medications effective for excessive perfectionism, posted by Questionmark on November 16, 2004, at 3:38:08
> Is anyone aware of (and have any information to support this) any medications or substances that may often be effective for helping with excessive (/obsessive) perfectionism, other than SSRIs (which have failed to help that much)? i have OCPD and suffer from uncanny perfectionism and associated qualities (though certainly not ever coming close to being any kind of "perfect" or having being self-efficacious by any means). Sorry, this post is probably too tedious to read. Darnit, nevermind.

> i doubt there is any good answer to this question, but i appreciate any attempts. Thanks.I'd give Neurontin a try if you don't like the serotonergics or they don't work. Also, if you are taking noradrenergics or stims, they can aggravate the perfectionism-so you might look into lowering those or avoiding them.
