Hello, am new here and just wanted to share my success story (short version)....
I've had severe OCD for most of my life until it culminated into a crisis. I was living hotels, changing rooms or locations every week, shaving my head, that kind of stuff due to contamination fears. I ended up with substantial debt of course, and was headed to ruin. After a few years working out the meds, I have found that the best combination for me is 20mg of Lexapro w/ 1 mg of Klonopin. The Lexapro helps with teh obsessive thinking, while Klonopin (a God send), mitigates anxiety. I never knew freedom until I found this combination. I did a stint with the neuroleptics, but found they compromised my cognitive ability and lead to gross weight gain. Those are nasty drugs and should be avoided if at all possible.
Of course, each individual needs to find the right mix, but I highly recommend this combination as a starting point!
Cheers,
Mark
