Skeet....the key is to keep the doses really really low(no more than 10mg/day of Desoxyn). Don't rush this regiment. It may take a year to tweak it to perfection. You're dosing will obviously be different than mine. Stimulants also make my OCD worse and can lead to suicidal depression(this happens to me when the dose gets too high and I don't exercise) which is why I augment with Liquid Zoloft(zero side effects from liquid vs tons of SE from pill form) and Wellbutrin (they sort of act as a buffer for me). Desoxyn has mild serotoninergic effects and synergizes nicely with an SSRI(dependent on how your body reacts to drugs, be somewhat weary of seratonin syndrome--although I've never experienced it). I find that a 4 mile run in the morning reduces the stimulant induced OCD significantly. You must exercise...especially if you're depressed. Don't bother adding the Wellbutrin until you've stabilized on the other meds. Wellbutrin may be overkill. Overall, be careful with this regiment if you have a tendency towards mania. These drugs will shoot you into a cloud of euphoria if you are in the bipolar spectrum. I failed to mention in my original post that I also take Lithium Orotate--the key ingredient that makes everything work...amazing stuff and all that's needed to keep me stable. Just ask if you have any more specific questions. Also, I have to say it, but no drug will work properly if you're not eating healthy. Lots of water. Lots of fiber. High protein. No junk food. And a healthy GI tract is extrememly important for social phobics. Make sure you are having regular bowel movements. Have you been examined for Celiac's Disease? For ex, I have celiac's and can't tolerate any medication with lactose or gluten in it's ingredients without taking digestive enzymes.
