Sorry, i didn't mean to say 5ht2a blockade definatly worsens OCD. It might well reduce it. This book has a summary of some of the evidence http://books.google.com/books?id=Kxi2JiBgNGoC&pg=PA79&lpg=PA79&dq=5ht2a+ocd+antagonist&source=web&ots=ydUPgmFxMF&sig=0zhUB2irck2IE2jI2Icng172aGc&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=7&ct=result#PPA79,M1
desipramine is a tca nri that doesn't really affect 5ht2a. its more likely to cause insomnia though. Protriptaline too (i cannot find its binding value at 5ht2a), though it has some extra side effects. atomoxetine also.
Baclofen might help with anxiety, sleep, and muscle jerks...i don't think its helpful iwth OCD.
don't worry too much about the meds...theres a million options...good luck with the doctor
