OCD - Just a thought.

Posted by SLS on May 1, 2009, at 18:01:39

While eating my Raisin Bran earlier, it occurred to me that in OCD there is probably something out of whack in the balance between the locus coeruleus and raphe nuclei - the regional source of norepinephrine (NE) and serotonin (5-HT) respectively. Perhaps this is why clomipramine works so well. It might help to reregulate both pathways simultaneously.

Why not combine Prozac, an atypical SSRI with anti-OCD properties, with either desipramine or nortriptyline to treat OCD and avoid the anticholinergic side effects of clomipramine?

Just a thought.
