The sertraline helped with depression when I took it two years ago but when I tried it this time, I felt an immediate increase in anxiety and ocd, and only recognized then that I never responded to it for ocd symptoms. I forgot to mention that I have also tried brintellix at a dose of 20 mg but showed no response. Viibryd isn't available in Canada, so I'll have to try either luvox or something I've tried before but at a higher dose. Unless my pdoc is comfortable with either cymbalta or savella for me. The focus of my treatment has always been depression because I rarely talked about my OCD difficulties as they were so severe that I thought I'd never experience any alleviation and didn't even realize I had it. I thought I was mildly psychotic for years and didn't think it was even treatable. We'll see what the pdoc thinks tomorrow.
