I tried Luvox a few years ago and couldn't tolerate the sides. Worked well for the ocd but made me feel like a zombie. I've also tried Anafranil, which also is very effective for the ocd, but makes my social anxiety much worse and wipes out my already poor libido. My pdoc prescribed Risperdal to augment the Lexapro for the ocd & depression. I think she's also of the opinion that my social anxiety borders on paranoia (as far as an intense feeling of being judged by others). I don't really agree with her on this. Intense hypervigilance like I have is a hallmark symptom of SA and can be easily confused with psychosis. This is why I'm considering an maoi like Parnate, which can be effective for both SA and ocd. I know there's also Nardil, but Parnate has a better side effect profile from what I've read.
> Have you tried luvox? For the ocd? If not the new time release could be an option for you. If now psychotic why resperidol? If my gut says stop I do but that is me. Phillipa
