Is effexor usefull in OCD treatment?

Posted by Dunedin on December 15, 2001, at 4:05:40

My wife has the Obsessive bit and we have just found out that her sister in England is on effexor for depression. My wife is currently on Busperone but it doesn't seem to be doing much good (she's been on it for 3 weeks or so now). Can effexor be used to treat OCD? And is there a likely genetic link?
Thanks in advance. Tom.

Effexor at low dosages acts as an SSRI. And SSRIs are the gold standard in treatment for OCD.
