Things that have worked for me:
SNRIs, including Effexor, Pristiq, and Cymbalta
Prozac
NOT Paxil - that made me manic
Seroquel helps with other stuff, not much with OCD though
The natural supplement Inositol - helped at a high dose but not a whole lot.I'm at 3 months on Pristiq now and I am just starting to notice really significant improvement.
Things that have not worked for me that I've tried for OCD:
Abilify
Namenda/Memantine
Anafranil (side effects hit me like a ton of bricks)
Ultram/TramadolI've heard Klonopin can be helpful, but I'm hesitant to try things that may be addictive.
