Hi Link,
That's really interesting.
After reading Ezmony's (sp) post on 'alternative', I found this........

It's weird that SSRIs help OCD when serotonin reuptake is supposedly reduced in OCD! The article never mentions this....typical. Anyway, SSRIs definately help my OCD. SSRIs often produce an initial exacerbation of OCD followed by a gradual improvement, I expect that they work by downregulating certain serotonin receptors.
I wonder whether tianeptine (Stablon) could help OCD as well? It can treat depression. Maybe it can treat OCD too. All I could find was this......
It doesn't make much sense to me because it's been translated from French.
>anxiety disorders
Do you think tamoxifen might be an effective treatment for OCD?
