Specializes in Psychiatry

Several: Your best information will come from the psychiatrist treating you, as there are several effective treatments. Many antipsychotics have been found effective, especially haloperidol. If obsessional symptoms are present, which is usual, an ssri antidepressant may prove very helpful, such as fluvoxamine, or the tricyclic, clomipramine. You need a thorough evaluation and careful treatment.
