Remeron or Serzone could be used for OCD. You see the only reason why Luvox got a special indication for only OCD was for marketing reasons. It really does not have any advantage over any other serotonergic medicine in treatment, and actually, Anafranil is the most serotonergic--thus the gold standard in OCD treatment.

I'll give you the shpiel for Remeron.
Here are the benefits of Remeron:
--It can be used for all types of depression, anxiety, OCD, and insomnia.
--It is convienient because it is taken only once at bedtime.
--It may improve libido and sexual performance (its the only medication that improves mine). Dr. Bob Hsieung's fellow doctors recommend it for sexual dysfunction.
--You can take Remeron with most antidepressants except MAOIs.
--It has none of the anticholinergic effects of SSRIs.
--It has gained recognition as a very useful medication from psychiatrists in only four years of FDA approval.

I myself started Remeron at 60 mg right away and had no side-effects. I had no weight gain or sedation during the day.
