In reply to Anyone out there have OCD? Help!!, posted by Elle2021 on October 22, 2003, at 4:22:14
I have some symptoms of OCD, which tend to flare up when I get anxious, but do not have full-blown OCD.
Anyway, the two meds I have heard of that are specifically targeted for OCD are Luvox (an SSRI, but it has minimal SSRI/a-d properties) and the old *gold standard* which is Anafranil, a tricyclic (which means initial side effects like dry mouth, constipation, sedation, but these wear off).
Have you tried either of these? Good luck 2 U.
