Hi and thank you both for your replies.

The Effexor XR alone really doesn't do the trick for my OCD. I've tried talking to my doc about it but he prescribed Ativan for panic instead of something for the OCD. I haven't had a panic attack in quite a while (knock on wood ) and really just want something to help control unwanted and repetitive thoughts.

I have an appointment next month so I will have to talk to him again about it. Thanks again, Pam
