I hated the dosing and it had minimal effect on my OCD. It was good for tripping at higher doses, though-it had a pronounced GABA effect.
Stuff like Riluzole and Campral are only good for augmeting treatment with something that raises levels of seratonin in areas of the brain that are effected by OCD. If you have OCD, you have lower levels of seratonin and increased levels of dopamine in your noggin. The most effective way of treating the illness is with an AD to raise seratonin levels and if that's not enough, also with an AAP to lower dopamine levels. Then you can augment with sh*t like dextroamphetamine, glutamate/NMDA antagonists, opiates or whatever.
