[quote=Anonymous]DC has been prescribed an SSRI (fluoxetine) for OCD with the plan to ramp up from the starting dose. The question is how do we know what the right dosage is and if this is the right medication at all. Should we expect to see a gradual decrease in the intrusive thoughts and compulsions with increase in dosage? Or do the compulsions stop suddenly only after a certain dosage? If one SSRI doesn't work even at a high dosage, does that mean that SSRI may not be the right class of medication and we should suggest trying an alternative such as TCA?[/quote]
