some docs are more willing to Rx MAOIs than others. I don't think its grounded in science so much as it is in the perception that MAOIs are old and potentially dangerous.
For OCD, there are other treatment strategies besides MAOIs. Antipsychotics, benzodiazepines, amphetamines, so on and so forth. Your doctor might want to try those first (again, there seems to be variability amongst docs on when, if ever, to go for the MAOIs.).
