A member asked:

Can abilify and clonazepam, in tandem and with no other agents, help alleviate the symptoms of ocd?

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Maybe, but not ideal: The best treatments for OCD are generally Cognitive Behavioral Therapy coupled with a type of medication called an SSRI (like Prozac, Paxil, etc).
