What have you found to help with your OCD? Something that works on serotonin? CBT/ERP?
I've found adderall to help tremendously with my inattentive ADD, but I use it as sparingly as possible, as I do not want to build a tolerance.
On a side note, I'm just awe of how many intelligent, wonderful people are on this board. I've never seen anything like it before.
Thanks,
