If your brother was willing to try a TCA, I have read that Anafranil is supposed to be the gold standard for OCD. I am sure others with more knowledge and experience will provide you with more suggestions.

>Hi Tamara-
I ended up staying home for xmas. It's a long story but I don't really regret it. Anyway, my brother was on Anafranil years ago but it was so sedating and caused so much weight gain he swore of meds. That's why I'm steering him to an SSRI - not as dirty as Anafranil. Thanks for your post!
Jerry
