> Excuse my ignorance if I'm wrong - but wouldn't an SSRI (especially one that's good for OC) be useful, such as Seroxat? Or what about Clomipramine..??
>That wasn't my experience at all, Luvox is the best ssri for OCD and it helped a little with depression but not the intrusive thoughts and Clomipramine did nothing but make me sleepy. That's my personal experience though. I found intensive CBT to be the best thing for me. Even though I have multiple ranging disorders, some don't require meds and some do. In this instance I found CBT to be the best. The clonazepam I mentioned that I'm taking was prescribed for anxiety and RSL. It's also played a major role in mood stability for me, which was quite a welcome surprise. C
