In reply to Any meds beside SSRIs for OCD(intrusive thoughts)?, posted by jonathanupr on July 6, 2006, at 23:19:58
BuSpar.
OCD is mostly mediated by an extreme unbalance of serotonin. Anafranil is the gold standard for OCD. Do you have rituals too? Or jsut intrusive thoughts? Counting? Irrational fears?
The aytypicals - Ztprexa, Seroquel, Abilify - all overkill in my opinion - but that's just me. I'm a musician and was on Seroquel for 3 years - and I barely played. Seroquel is good for making you fat, foggy and drugged. I don't know about Abilify.
BuSpar would be something to seriously consider.
