In reply to EFEXOR FOR OCD??!, posted by pretty_paints on April 9, 2004, at 17:46:32
I don't know if I can solve your dilemma, but I can tell you a little about myself with effexor. I have been on effexor for a little over a year and have stopped about 2 weeks ago and using prozac now to help curb the side effects of the effexor. Effexor worked well for me, but I suppose I have GAD and not OCD. It did take several weeks before I was back to normal with 75mg of effexor. I did, however, go up to 150mg and I have to say it worked very well. My desire to stop was that my heart rate remained high around 100 while resting. Now that I am on the prozac I can't really tell that I am taking anything except for the fact that my libido is lost. John
