no. i hear valdoxen has a similar mechanism to remeron, which was hell for my OCD. as anti-depressants, the MAOI's are unparalleled in my opinion, but i cannot deal with the Parnate insomnia, and have started to taper off; if i treat it seroquel it kills the AD effect, but if i stake awake i feel like i'm going crazy. last week i slept like 2 hours each night.
i am actually convinced i have ADHD, which is where my OCD (perfectionism) stems from - as a kidn of coping mechanism. docs have been happy to throw every zombifying silver bullet at the OCD (antipsychotics, anafranil), but nothing seems to help my executive dysfunction. i've applied for ADHD testing, because stims are completely restricted otherwise.
my hope was in trying something like concerta (the primary stim here unfortunately) + memantine, as this seems to be a life-changing combo for many with both afflictions.
