OCD involves a lack of seratonin in regions of the brain and often a surplus of dopamine, especially in the nucleus accumbens. Taking the Venlafaxine corrects the imbalance of seratonin while the Amisulpride lowers dopamine levels. The APA recommends the combination of an AD and an AAP in the treatment of OCD.

That said, you can swap the Amisulpride out for another atypical antipsychotic that doesn't sedate you.
