Thanks blueberry and Linkadge.

I've done the lithium route already and, combined with some other meds, I ended up hurting myself pretty badly. Not that I think the meds were at fault; they just weren't enough help.

I have alprazolam right now, and it helps take the edge off the anxiety associated with my all-pervasive OCD rituals and intrusive thoughts. I'm meaning to talk to my doctor about Zyprexa on Monday.

I just wish I understood why I have such problems with reuptake inhibitors. I can take high doses of, for example, depakote or lamictal and they have absolutely no effect at all on me--not the slightest side effect, not the slightest therapeutic benefit. Put me on an RI, however, and I get just about every SE you can think of. I wish I could find something to break out of this cycle.

Thanks again for your thoughts.
