My understanding is that 40mg is a pretty standard dose. It's right smack in the middle of the dosing range.
Also, I do remember the last thread we both participated in -- you were questioning your pdoc's requirement that you follow her instructions for six months. How is that going? Are you doing well on the Celexa? Is it helping with the OCD?
I hope it is, and wish you very good luck with it.
