> Remeron, reboxetine, tianeptine, and wellbutrin didn't help my OCD at all. It could be argued that WB made it sligthly worse.

> I've been taking zoloft for a month now (75mg/day), and so far my OCD has been worse :-/ I don't really know what to do...I had high hopes seeing as I responded well to prozac, and the sexual side effects of the zoloft are very tolerable...ah well, I think I might just switch to prozac.Personally, and of course this is only my opinion, I wouldn't even waste time on Zoloft. I took it for ages...I don't know why! It helped my OCD MINIMALLY and did nothing for my anxiety. It truly is a lacklustre drug. It's interesting Prozac worked for you...I have little faith in any SSRI drugs. The 'old faithfuls' are the best.
