Hi Andrew, how's it going, I was wondering if you've found anything effective for your OCD that can be taken with nardil. I'm on nardil and it definately kills my SP,GAD& PD, but does nothing for my crippling OCD. For that my Pdoc has me on 7.5 mg zyprexa - to be honest this combination is about as good as anything I've been on except for a dramatic four month period when i first started prozac and felt wonderful - I loved school/socializing... However, the zyprexa leaves me sedated and dull. I wish so much there was something that could discriminately block the overactive dopamine receptors contributing to OCD without knocking me out, if dopamine is implicated as it it seems. When Aripiprazole first came out I was interested in it as it purpotedly regulates one/some dopamine receptors by individually tuning itself to one/some of the individual's dopamine receptors, stimulating it where necessary blocking it where appropriate. But many people on here report it not to help with anxiety, plus I'm Canadian and it's not available up here. Anyways I've kind of gone on, but if you've come across anything that has helped with your OCD that can be taken with nardil, that doesn't cause intolerable side effects, I'd be so grateful to hear about it
Ben
