> Prozacs the best for OCD.. it's just the way it is..
yeah, I got about 3 years of ocd relief out of prozac, at a high dose of 80mg. ocd symptems get much better. Combined with 4 years on 300mg. luvox that was 7 years to realize in therapy how my ocd symptoms could be controlled, now my ocd symptom can be considered eccentricity. the problem is they (SSRI) poop out, ecspecially if you go on again off to many times, years of taking ssri it's hard not to want to take a occasional drug holiday. if you stay on it and never go off your chances of 'poop-out' are greatly reduced. I am trying lexapro now because of the low side effects, as an AD.
