A member asked:
I am a hoarder. is there medication i can take that will help me be able to actually throw things away and care myself and things? therapy didn't work
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Yes, quite a few. Among these are : luvox, anafranil, prozac, zoloft, Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) and lexapro. The dose of these medications are higher than what is usually used for depression alone. Even then, a combination of medicatipons and behavioral psychotherapy help much more than either medication or therapy alone.
