A member asked:

Thoughts on the effective meds for racing thoughts associated with anxiety-ocd-bipolar...tough question..any takers?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No problemo: There are probably antidepressants on board for the ocd, so in this situation i give my vote to one of two drugs i find helpful in mixed or rapid cycling states. And the winners are Invega (paliperidone) or Fanapt in my practice, preferably with tegretol or Depakote on board. Best wishes.
