    At last OCD i havent seen it mentioned before . i have been on Serraline for 3 months now ,( after prozac) started on 50 then went to 100 i feel alot better in myself , feel i have some control over my OCD.

    i find the OCD is still winning though so think my doctor will raise it to 150.

    she is very supportive wants me to speak to some one to assess how bad i am this time yes i have had this for at least 45 years .

    SO give it a try good luck...
