> Also of note for Geodon: it blocks 5ht2c receptors, which can worsen OCD.Yes- and also increase depression. Have you heard much theory about the mechanism behind this? Always low dose AP for me.
But don't panic; there is a solution: take only a small dose. At 20mg per day, divided into two doses (you have to split up the smallest capsule), 5ht2c antagonism is probably minimal. In any case, I take Geodon in this manner, partly for OCD, and believe I get a mild benefit out of it. 20mg per day. If I go up, it's not helpful, however.
Have you tried other AP's...or Clomipramine?
Thanks friend:)
