[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fluoxetine is def the most recognized drug for ocd but it does require higher dosages for ocd than for anxiety or depression. [/quote] My DD has OCD and has taken fluoxetine, sertraline and fluvoxamine. They all helped some but the fluvoxamine has been the best, so if the first one doesn't work, it is worth trying other SSRIs before moving to something like a TCA. All SSRIs typically need to be at the high end of the dosage to work for OCD. And our psychiatrist has said that a good response is about 30% reduction in symptoms which enables them to engage with therapy better. But no med will be the only solution.[/quote]
