A lot of shrinks don't read the literature. They come to their own conclusions based on experience, personal preferences, etc. Psychiatry isn't science, its...I don't know...sort of like modern day witch doctoring a lot of the time.

Luvox is fairly standard for OCD, although any SRI will do. As ed pointed out, the doses for OCD are often higher than the doses for depression and anxiety. Higher doses also run the risk of flattening, hypofrontality, sexual dysfunction, and apathy.

That said...I'd rather be on something that has data behind it than some magical cocktail whipped up my a modern day alchemist, lol. Anafranil can be rough stuff, but its more effective than a lot of other options.

The trick, I suppose, would be to get the OCD under control while minimizing meds and side effects, drug acquisition costs, etc.

can you do any kind of therapy? Have you tried non-drug stuff, like inositol, niacinamide, etc. ?

Good luck!
