Risperdal or Abilify added to either Luvox (fluvoxamine) or Anafranil (clomipramine)?
OCD requires higher dosages of SSRIs and more time to elicit a response. For instance, Prozac (fluoxetinea) is often worked up 60 mg/day and higher for three or more months.
Reducing glutamaate might be helpful when treating OCD. Drugs that do this include memantine, riluzole, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC). NAC might take several months to work. Ketamine has been proposed as a treatment.
