Hey there,
I am on a lot of Buspar and Zoloft for OCD and they are both working great. 90mg Buspar, 200mg zoloft. Would love to go even higher on both if I could:)

hey. I dont take buspar for ocd, but I have taken it for anxiety...based on my experiences and those of people I know, it seems that Buspar can help anxiety/ocd, but its not really the best thing for monotherapy...it works better when combined with an antidepressant. So...if you're OCD and luvox and/or anafranil provide only partial relief, buspar might be a nice add-on med..it *might* also improve the anti-depressant effects of your med(s), which is always nice.

Thanks for the info! I don't really know much about Buspar, but seeing as it is an anxiety med and OCD is an anxiety disorder, I thought it might be worth looking in to.

I've heard of people taking up to 300mg Zoloft.

Ed,
that would be awesome but literally when I make the slightest move I sweat! I know that is the Zoloft so I think it would only get worse the higher I go!

Hi!
LOL, I know how you feel. I'm on Celexa 60-80mg and I sweat quite a lot.
.......and when I was on Celexa 60mg + a tricyclic AD I had sweat dripping down my face.
>I think it would only get worse the higher I go!
Probably :-( I guess you could try it and see!
