> Are anti-psychotics by any chance NOT recommended for treating OCD? I have long suspected that I have Pure-O OCD, but anti-psychotics seem to make my condition worse.
They can do this! But on the whole, they help enourmously. I have severe OCD with concomitant pychotic ideation (usually of a self-referential nature). Went on Zyprexa- helped greatly. Seroquel now- helps greatly. I am going to change probably to Risperidone.
Antipsychotics with OCD can be strange. For example, a low dose may help greatly, but if you higher the dose it paradoxically may make your OCD worse!!!!!!!!!
I would recommended trying low doses, also the drugs of choice are Clomipramine, Luvox (only SSRI I have time for), and many many combos.
Hang in there!
