Here's what's up:
I've been on Lamictal and Seroquel for years (currently 250mg Lam and 50mg Ser) due to mood problems (they said bipolar but I have my doubts). I used to be on Effexor as well for OCD but stopped because of side effects. My mood problems have been pretty much under control for the last few years (hence the bipolar doubts) but recently my OCD has reached ridiculous heights. I've tried a number of SSRIs and SNRIs and they work but I can't tolerate them due to side effects. My doctor just prescribed me Abilify 2mg for the OCD.
So I guess my question is, has anyone here had any luck with Abilify for OCD? I realize it is usually used to augment an SSRI (in the case of OCD) but I'm wondering if it will help on its own.
