Hiyas,
I have OCD, and am, strangely enough, taking Wellbutrin and Tranzene. Generally, many of the SSRI meds work well for the obsessive aspect of OCD. There are so many different manifestations of this disorder, and you really did not say too much about your behavioral issues. Wellbutrin (as Zyban...same med) is given to help people stop smoking. It's mechanism of action is on dopamine for the most part. I was able to quit drinking cold turkey, and have been able to "set aside" other obsessive behavior. However, you may also consider hypnotherapy as a part of counseling. You should carry this post over to PB Social Babble for more input.
