I am a pure O and have anxiety to boot. I tried paxil and I couldn't take it. Too much start up anxiety and I felt really weird. I take 15 mg of remeron right now as I had taken it in the past and started 5 weeks ago. My problem was also sleep related. Remeron helps in some areas but can seem to make parts of my ocd worse. I believe in the past this got better so I am not worrying too much.

That said, if I could handle paxil I would take it as it is supposed to work for ocd better. Remeron has a lot of baggage as in a heavy head but I still have the ability to have sex which I would give up if I could get remission.

I don't know if this helps at all but if ssri's work for you they sound like the best for ocd.
