abilify for OCD

[elizabeth3]

Hello,
     I suffer from anxiety, depressions and OCD. I just got off seroquel because I gained over
50 pounds. I have really felt my OC thoughts increase, alot!! My doc put me on Abilify, I just started this morning. Does anyone take abilify for OCD? Does it work for them? I am also on Zoloft and Xanax, but my racing thoughts have my depression has resurfaced. Does anyone with OCD have anyother suggestions for medications for OCD?
Thanks.

By the way I'm using voice to text that's why some of the words came out crazy LOL

I just started taking 2 mg of Abilify with 150 mg of Zoloft and also 10 mg of propranolol on an as needed basis. I know propranolol   Is it blood-pressure medication but is supposed to work with OCD anxiety.  To me it's better than taking a benzo. I don't like pencils because her habit-forming. It is my fourth day taking the Abilify and I'm getting tired. Does that go away ?

Talk to your doctor about anafrinil.

i take abilify for refractory OCD.  I had to increase it to 45mg.  I also take zoloft at 300mg.  and seroquel 900mg XR. No other SSRI helped like luvox or zoloft, however luvox raised my kidney functions and liver enzymes. I felt so sick and week i had to go to the hospital.. But when i started zoloft, it helped my checking, i talso made me forget the things or thoughts i had(obsessions).. It was great! The obsessions which feel that they are going to last all day, last about ten seconds really. But yes ablilify helps my mood and seroquel slows my thoughts.  I got of the klonopin because i was developing a tolerance.  Anyway good luck to you.
