What is the best medication and dosage for alleviating anxiety (general and social anxiety) and ocd at the same time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prozac or paxil (paroxetine): Start with prozac. It is known to be beneficial for the individuals suffering from ocd. Most probably that general anxiety is part of ocd. If Prozac is not effective wellbutrin (bupropion) may be tried for ocd. Paxil is known to reduce social anxiety. In ocd and social anxiety, you will get better results when the medicine is combined with cognitive behavior therapy.
