Sorry if there has been a discussion on this but I couldn't find it in the search. What meds have your loved ones been prescribed for OCD. My DH has so many compulsive actions that it is getting difficult to do anything. DIdn't know if there was one or two particular meds that helped. Seroquel has not.
Seroquel is the only medication that ever helped Lynn. It really did nothing for the OCD but it did control his rages. His OCD behaviors were nothing compared to the aggression so I honestly never looked into to getting him on medications to help with the OCD. If I am not mistaken, I believe antidepressants and serotonin reuptake inhibitors are the drugs of choice. I have a friend who takes anti anxiety medication as well. But they do not have AD. Best of luck in finding the right "cocktail" for your spouse.
My husband started with 10 mg Prozac for his ocd and eventually increased to 30 mg. Now he's on Celexa 20 mg. He still has the ocd behaviors, but not as pronounced.
He is also on 150 mg Seroquel for his agitation and restlessness. 50 mg 3x day.
