The drowsiness/sedation gets better with time - try and stick with it for a few weeks.

Chewing sugarless gum helps the dry mouth.

Was 50mg. as high as you got with Zoloft? OCD patients often need higher doseages to get adequate control.

If you find you cant tolorate clomipramine at an adequate dose (upto 150mg per day) then it might be worth trying Zoloft at 100-200mg/day

Good advice.

How do you feel about using Luvox for OCD?

Prozac at dosages of 60-80mg are effective for OCD.

Not only does it usually require higher dosages to treat OCD, it can also take several months to see an improvement.

I was at 100mg of Zoloft at one time and i noticed much improvement for my OCD but I became real aggressive and had rages..but maybe it could have been something else and could be worth a try to up the dose again.. And I thought about Luvox ..do yall know anything about its effectiveness ?? thank you guys soo much!!
