    It'll be 8 weeks for me too tomorrow, and although anxiety and initial start up symptoms have subsided, ocd still there. Have you been on these before? I'm scared that because I've been on them before I may have built up a tolerance to them and they won't work.

      I go through that fear every single time I restart. It's natural to think that way with all the anecdotal evidence on the web that the drugs don't seem to work as well the second or third time around. If you read my response to Kevin above, you'll see it worked for me 4 times. Of course we are all different, but I believe that it will work for you too. Just hold on a little longer.

      Thank you Axle, it's always good to hear other people's experience. So glad it worked for you and hope that it will again this time. It's good to hear that it has worked several times.
