What is the best medicine for ocd. we have tried zoloft, lexapro, wellbutrin, prozac. side effects bad or did not work. does pristiq (desvenlafaxine) work for ocd?

SSRI's failed: So one SSRI may work when another does not. Keep trying. There is a new one called Brintillex which has much greater effectiveness in the reported studies. Also a Selegeline patch may prove effective.
