Any ssri will help the OCD. Effexor in high dosages also make a good job for OCD. If ssri is not sufficient you can add buspirone ( Buspar) often with great result.
I have seen this regime in refractary OCD with very good result. For exampel one treathmentresistent patient with OCD respond very well when 80 mg Buspar was add to 60 Citalopram (Celexa)
Case raport with bromcriptin (Pravidel) to ssri have also been positive in some cases.
