In reply to Has anyone found an RX that really helps OCD?, posted by Yogi on January 13, 2004, at 5:09:18
My son has Schizophrenia. He had extremely obsessive behavior, constantly dwelling on certain obsessions. His second line of meds has been very successful so far. He is Taking Zyprexa, an anti-psychotic medication which is now being used in smaller doses (he takes 20 mg) small might be 5mg, for treating depression, compulsive behavior, BiPolar etc. effectivity depends on the patient. He is also taking Zoloft which may even be more effective for this. The only side effects he has experienced are a little dry-mouth(typical) and increased appetite. Hope this helps. Good luck to you!
