Yes! I know. Really high doses of SSRIs, like Zoloft, lexapro, luvox and others I'm sure.
I was on all three (not at the same time). That and I worked with a therapist who specialized in OCD. He did "Value Based" therapy and "ERT"--exposure response therapy.
The combo of the SSRI, value based therapy and exposure work really, really helped my germ phobia behaviors.
I got a lot better. This T moved to another city and then so did I or I might be great by now.
Also, I didn't like the side-effects of the SSRIs, so I stopped taking them.
My OCD is slowly getting worse again, so that tells me the meds, the therapy, or both were working.
