SSRIs haven't helped my OCD either.
What medicines have you tried, at what dosages, and for how long? A fact that a lot of people don't realize is that dosages and response time with SSRIs is totally different for OCD than for depression.
Let's just take, say, Celexa.. for example. Depression would be expected to respond to 20-40 mg of Celexa in 4-6 weeks. OCD, on the other hand, would call for 60-80 mg with a waiting period of up to 12 weeks.
