In reply to Does Effexor XR Help Those with OCD?, posted by MDR on March 7, 2002, at 10:26:19
Effexor may not be a clomipramine when it comes to OCD, but it is a highly effective and tolerable medication that should not be overlooked by many sufferers.
"In the current report, with a 12-week open trial of venlafaxine, the overall improvement in OCD was significant (with greater or equal to 35% reduction in YBOCS and 1 or 2 on the CGI Scale) in 30% of patients."
