In reply to is lithium good for OCD, posted by linkadge on February 3, 2003, at 18:58:05
Actually, lithium has been used for what has been termed 'episodic OCD' (namely, people who go through periods of suffering from OCD, but aren't constantly battling it)...and it was a successful treatment for a good number of people with 'episodic OCD'. I don't know if lithium has ever been used for people with regular OCD, but I too am curious if it would help. It certainly interests me...I would be interested in giving it a try sometime for my own OCD, if I run out of other options (currently on zoloft)...
