> I used to have OCD. I find that celexa helped me keep it from coming back, but I went through hell getting rid of it. I became extremely frustrated one day when I couldn't leave the house and couldn't explain to my mother why I was late. I made a promise to myself that I would not fulfill any compulsions the next day. The next day was very miserable, but I made it through. After that first week of cutting off my OCD cold turkey, I found that it was virtually non-existent.

Also, is he taking it alone or as an augmentation to any SSRI? What brand and doses of SSRI is he on?Would appreciate your reply.
Thanks.
