Is there any one antidepressant you've had some sort of response to? Perhaps a reduction in panic symptoms? A reduction of global anxiety? The point of antidepressant therapy in OCD is a reduction of anxiety-so you can have the anxiety producing thoughts without anxiety.
I wouldn't do more than 300 mg with the Fluvoxamine-studies show it isn't much more effective at doses above 300 mg, plus you start to get a lot of sedation.
