> I beleive most of us are treatment resistant, not only from this board, but many people i know personally! i have a friend with ocd, who after 20 years has found "no" relief at all, even with 120 mgs. of prozac, though lamictal brought him put of a deep depression when his mom passed away.

> tofranil helped years ago in my teens. prozac is just keeping me going at the moment, but i beleive it has pooped out after 4 years. i really at this point don't know what to do, i can't tolrate high doses of ssri's, nor would i prefer to be on high doses. i may give tofranil another shot, but i am not optimistic...john [maybe i need a better placebo based attitude]
I would recommend trying an MAOI like Parnate or Nardil. The side effects and diet restrictions have been blown way out of preportion. The Diet is not hard at all. Parnate is my favorite and is currently relieving all my symptoms. On parnate for one month, 0 depression, 0 anxiety, 0 social phobia, 0 OCD...best I've felt in 25 yrs. So much better than TCA's, ssri's, snri's, for me and A LOT of people. It just might be the answer for you. Good Luck!Tyler
