robextine, amphetmamine (not d-amphetamine) i googled it said mostly stimulant medications but i also read that d-amphetamine ecan improve some OCD, but it's the levoamphetamine that can exacerbate it - amphetamine (levoamp and dextoamp)

there's tons of medications that do it, maybe let some posters give their insight

the best med is anafranil, and luvox

if your ocd is rough, id ask about anafranil. its potent...and a tca, so there are definite adverse effects to consider, but it has a long track record of producing good results. only your psychiatrist will know for sure if it will play nicely with everything else you take, already.

other than that...i think any ssri can be used in ocd. if i recall correctly, the doses are higher than in depression and/or anxiety, so that brings some adverse effects (potentially).
