In reply to best med for GAD and OCD?, posted by jessers11581 on April 1, 2006, at 12:01:10
Hi Jess,
I am a compulsive eater and find that it responds to Topamax very well. Topamax has also reduced my social anxiety somewhat. It doesn't help my depression though.
For GAD, benzos are great, and antidepressants can also work but take longer. For OCD, anything that works on serotonin and/or glutamate. If you're finding Cymbalta to be tolerable, then I would suggest combining it with something, *maybe* a benzo but I actually think Buspar might work better for the compulsiveness. It's an idea.
BTW when I was on Cymbalta I really liked it (but it quit working on me).
