What is the best drug for treatment of my obsessive compulsive disorder?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder characterized by recurrent intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and compulsions (repeatedly performing the same behavior). Like most things in mental health, no one knows the cause of OCD. 

There are a variety of drugs that are used to treat OCD but unfortunately not everyone responds to the same medications. Moreover some individuals often start to lose the effectiveness after a few years.  Doctors usually prescribe one medication, then determine the response and the move on to another medication.

The currently available medications used to treat OCD include Luvox (fluvoxamine), Prozac (fluoxetine), Zoloft (sertraline), Paxil (paroxetine), Celexa (citalopram), and Anafranil (clomipramine). Overall, many people appear to respond to Anafranil but over time its effectiveness also fades. 

The only way to know which medication s good for you is to try one out. Speak to your doctor. You may have to undergo a trial and error process to discover the best medication for you
