Two of the leading pdocs on OCD in the country are using Namenda for TX resistant OCD and report (online) good anecdotal results. Besides it is relatively benign as far as psychotherapeutics go. If his is using Namenda I assume the OCD is a significant problem--Namenda targets the obsessive thoughts which can really be debilitating if you also have anxiety and depression. I suggested staying on the Paxil because it is plain and reliable. Some augmentation might be beneficial. I do not believe effexor or any of the other SNRIs are particularly helpful with OCD.
Personally I would attack the OCD as a primary target because it really can exaccerbate the other problems (once again assuming it is the obsessional component that we really want to get under control).. After that I am out of my league. Thanks fca
