Effexor success with Depression and OCD

Posted by Bonte on May 2, 2003, at 17:48:08

Hey all,
I have been taking Effexor XL (modified release) 225mg for 10months. It has been excellent. I have been doing things again! Stopped living for over 3 years with major depression. S/e have been minimal, with only constipation. (Duphalac does the trick)
The suprise was though, my Obsessive Compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms have been getting better and better since I started taking it. My rituals etc. have diminished. Has anyone else found this? I know that Effexor is now proven for anxiety disorders. Anyone got any feedback? (CBT was not succesful alone for me)
I am currently on Lithium aswell, as augmentation therapy for the Effexor. Is anybody else on that combination?
