>I tried Prozac when I was younger and it worked great. Then for some reason I switched to Effexor and it worked even better. However, since I have become sexually active I have tried to avoid SSRIs/SNRIs and try alternative routes. Nothing has been anywhere near as effective. I'm on Seroquel, Lamictal, and Ultram ER right now. I think the Seroquel helps, but not a whole lot with specifically OCD symptoms. I tried Abilify a couple times but on both occasions after a few weeks I started getting tons of intrusive thoughts. I also tried Risperdal when I was younger but I was a total zombie. I have never tried Nardil. Does it help OCD?
