In reply to Recommended Med. for OCD - As good as Anafranil, posted by Skee on May 5, 2002, at 8:30:40
I have OCD and GAD too. I take Lamictal, Remeron, and just recently added Zoloft. Zoloft has been a miracle drug for me. It drastically reduced my anxiety and OCD. I take 50 mgs. which is a pretty low dose, if I try to up it I get irritable. I tried Luvox (too sedating and made me severely agitated) and Paxil (also too sedating). Others swear by these though. I personally do not think that Remeron helps with anxiety (at least not for me) but it works wonders for depression. Small doses of Risperdal or Seroquel work well for people for anxiety too. I hope you find some relief soon, I know how hard it is to find something that works. Good luck.
