Hi Tommy,
how are effexor working for you? Do you benefit from it at all? How about side effects? I have very little experience about OCD. I do know that clomipramine, paxil, zoloft and luvox are often used as treatment. Many people have bad experiences from effexor, including myself. I believe OCD needs to be treated with a relatively high dose of one the meds(or similar) mentioned above. There's many experts on this board on this subject. If you suffer from social anxiety and ssri treatment seems to be inadequate, then clonazepam is an option well worth to consider, i think however that 0.25 is a way too small dose. You'll have to try what dose that suits you, i take 2mg daily for social anxiety.
Good luck.
