> I've had severe OCD for most of my life until it culminated into a crisis. I was living hotels, changing rooms or locations every week, shaving my head, that kind of stuff due to contamination fears. I ended up with substantial debt of course, and was headed to ruin. After a few years working out the meds, I have found that the best combination for me is 20mg of Lexapro w/ 1 mg of Klonopin. The Lexapro helps with teh obsessive thinking, while Klonopin (a God send), mitigates anxiety. I never knew freedom until I found this combination. I did a stint with the neuroleptics, but found they compromised my cognitive ability and lead to gross weight gain. Those are nasty drugs and should be avoided if at all possible.
