No havnt tried a maoi, looked at parnate a little but the insomnia seemed intense. And as for effexor I have heard too many horror stories about that, and my experiences with douloxetine was awful, extreme exacerbation in tics and near paralyzing anxiety/ocd thoughts. Other than ssri which the DNA test said don't look to promising there's really only mirtazipine nefazadone trazadone and then ones not approved by the fda I would have to order without a prescription. And none of those seem to do much for ocd that I know of.
I have heard of keppra, what makes you think it would be better? From what I have read it can induce anxiety/irratibility quite commonly.
Have wondered about d cycloserine, have not been able to find any reviews of it so have never really gotten the desire to peruse it, and most docs don't know about it.
