OCD Meds
What meds are considered to be effective in treating OCD?
Thanks!
Thanks!
I tried Zoloft and Celexa and found that in the end cipralex is currently the best option for me. Like JG said, it is trial and error. If you find one is not working for you, talk to you dr and try another.
SSRIs are Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. Basically it is believed that the neurotransmitter serotonin is decreased in the brains of people with OCD and so SSRIs help to stop the uptake of it and allow more to be available to our cells. There are many, many SSRIs out there and really it is a trial and error type of thing. If you are stalling out on zoloft then talk to your doctor about your other options but remember that you may need to give each one a good 4 to 6 weeks before you decide if it is working or not.
