Kelli, I have been prescribed Lexapro for OCD and I think it works very well. In the past I have been prescribed other SSRI's and so far this one feels the "cleanist" of them all. Meow Mary is right in saying that usually patients with OCD require higher doses. I use to take 100 mg of Celexa for about a year but I stopped because of some drowsiness it caused me. However, right now I am taking 40 mg of Lexapro and feel really good. Hopefully I will not need to go any higher but only time will tell. My doctor says that he has patients at doses higher than 40 and they are doing great. Well, good luck and I hope the medicine works out for him.
