> I totally agree, stick with the Nardil (the only med that has made you happy) and try CBT. You don't appear to be depressed (by the tone of your posts)..at least not depressed enough to warrent augmentation of a MAOI....I still have this feeling that you are trying to medicate yourself into a hypomanic state...sometimes, less is more...don't take your partial (or more than partial, as the case appears to be) response and remission of clinical depression for granted, a lot of people would love to be in your position.

>CBT definately doesn't. I tried it over a long period of time and it made my OCD much, much worse. Implosion therapy etc...it's all nonsense in my opinion. You can't heal a broken barin (OCD) with words just like you can't heal a broken bone with words.
'Psychotherapy', in nearly all its permutations, represents too me as utter nonsense.
And I say this after experience and great reflection.
