What medications can I go on for OCD aside from the following: (Because I've already tried them) :
Paroxetine
Fluvoxamine
Zoloft
Clomipramine
Please, can some one give me names of other drugs that are helpful in reducing OCD symptoms? Or combinations of drugs that might work. Off-label investigational. Anything. I've been battling this disease for years now. Please, do not recommend Cognitive Behaviour therapy or ritual exposure because these do not work for me at all. My GP says "Pills fix OCD, nothing else". Mind you, he is Bipolar and is on Zyprexa and Lithium. Can some one shed some light here? Any help would be great because I'm running out of things to try.

Why are you asking us? This is a question for a physician to decide which medication he thinks will work best for you, after determining the severity of your symptoms. Medications can help but you need to take them consistently and some of the ones above work better for OCD than others. Rely on your physicians' judgment.

The first line drugs for OCD are the SSRIs. Effexor is being investigated as a potential therapy. In my notes, if the drugs and CBT don't work, you might want to try neurosurgery.
