I believe that Lamictal is great for my anxiety. It is as powerful as a benzo, buspirone, or venlafaxine. Topamax would have been good too if it hadn't made me so tired, stupid, and visually messed up.

My experience has been whatever has helped my bipolar (lithium & topamax for me) helps my anxiety and OCD-like disorders. I think you will have to try them to discover which one helps you.

Good luck,
Janice

That's interesting that you noticed the anticonvulsant's effect on OCD. I thought I was the only one who noticed that carbamazepine and lamotrigine erradicated my OCD--when SSRIs were once thought to be the only ones to do such a thing.
