Re: Has anyone found an RX that really helps OCD?

The narcotic/SNRI Ultram (tramadol) has been shown to be extremely useful in the treatment of OCD, and I can personally attest to its many benefits. In fact, some university (can't remember which one at the moment) is conducting many very exciting studies on using tramadol to "cure" even the most treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsives. And the great thing is, it begins to work with the first dose.

It makes sense that Ultram would work so well as it's well known that morphine and other opioids are of great help to OCD'ers, as are drugs which inhibit serotonin reuptake. Ultram binds to the same opioid receptors as morphine, inhibits reuptake of serotonin, and also inhibits reuptake of norepinephrine.

Of course, there are also the old standbys Luvox, Paxil, Celexa, Lexapro, and Anafranil, but with those you're likely to experience the same disheartening side effects you did with Prozac.
