> On the OCD, aside from the ones already mentioned, there is some evidence for riluzole (its current approval is for ALS/Lou Gerig's disease). There's been a little bit of talk on psychobabble about it. I learned of it from a publication in which the OCFoundation mentioned it being researched. Also, even though it's considered a last-ditch effort, sometimes stimulants can help OCD (and depression).

I've been on desipramine, but not Marplan or perphenazine. So you've given me some research to do :)
Thanks again.
