>Aldoril (methyldopa/hydrochlorothiazide).

Why would someone want to take hydrochlorothiazide (a diuretic) for OCD? It is indicated for high blood pressure, especially in black people and the elderly. HCTZ should not be combined with lithium because it causes accumulation. In addition, there is no evidence to support the use of methyldopa in OCD. Many years ago, methyldopa was a popular treatment for hypertension, including hypertension in pregnancy, but the side effect profile is relatively poor so it's fallen into disuse.

I'm confused.
