A member asked:
Is there any medication that can help people get rid of ocd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Several ssri antidepressants, such as luvox, prozac, paxil, (paroxetine) and zoloft, can help with ocd. For best effect, use of such medications would be paired with psychotherapy -- particularly cognitive behavioral therapy. You could start by seeing a psychiatrist for a good diagnostic evaluation, and go from there.
