OK...I've been on Seroquel 150mg for OCD - it has done a good job. But even at thast dose I battle with sedation (fall asleep in class). I am changing to the most potent anti=OCD AP medication- Risperidone.This sounds crazy but i would recommend this (especially considering your past)
1. Try Nardil -- up to 105mg (with a good 6-8 week trial - it is an awesome med,,,best AD ever)
2. Drop Seroquel
3. Drop Celexa
4. Drop Trazadone
5. Keep ClonazepamIf Nardil doesn't produce full remission (i think it will)
add
low dose Lamictal
Low dose Zyprexa
L-tryptophan
Plenty moredon't loose hope!!!
Look up on the net all the BRILLIANT stories on Nardil....a great shrink once said (I paraphrase) "there is no comparing to Nardil -- In 95% of cases it is a huge success"
Nardil rules
Go to the MAOI!!!!!!
