> Hi Andrew, how's it going,
Good ben- how are you mate?
I was wondering if you've found anything effective for your OCD that can be taken with nardil.Just started Amisulpride- I have good feelings about this. I should say that Nardil helps my OCD too, but not enough.
I'm on nardil and it definately kills my SP,GAD& PD, but does nothing for my crippling OCD.I'm so glad that Nardil helps with those problems- what dose are you on Ben?
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.Zyprexa 2.5mg killed a part of my ocd- absolutely killed. But when I went higher than 2.5 it made my ocd worse!!
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.Maybe you could give Amisulpride a try too- only minimal sedation so far.
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

> BenBen- what about Clonidine? or Pindolol? or Lithium? Your OCD may be caused due to sluggish serotonergic transmission- Lithium and Pindolol would be great. Maybe, reboxetine- if its low Noradrenaline the prob- be careful combining with Nardil but.
But you sound better than before which is great. Hows life going anyway- you back at school, got a job?
Take Care Ben- you are a good dude!
