> Thanks for your input Scott, my PDOC has been trying to come up with new ideas for OCD and GAD treatments because even small amounts of SSRIS cause rapid weight gain and metabolic syndrome symptoms for me (which you would expect more from something like an AP like Zyprexa). I'm usually 163lbs and am now 220, so go figure. We're running out of ideas.

What about combining Parnate with Klonopin and possibly Namenda? That should address your concerns of weight gain. Although not universally known as an antiobsessional, Parnate has shown efficacy in a few studies. It is also effective in GAD. Perhaps the Klonopin, a benzodiazepine drug that is sometimes chosen for GAD, would also minimize the anxiety you experience with Namenda. Perhaps the anxiety is a startup effect, and would disappear with time.
