A member asked:

Is there any particular type of anxiety/depression you would use viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride) for..as it seems like an ssri plus buspar only--could it be helpful for ocd?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

It is new: It is a new antidepressant. There are many treatments available for ocd. Zoloft (sertraline) works well at high doses. Often adding a low dose of a neurolepyic like Risperidone can help the antidepressants work better.
