> Luvox + Anafranil sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. :) Combining two therapeutic dosages of two different SRI's will cause just as much serotonin syndrome as adding either to
Nardil.I have to beg to differ. I have seen many on an SSRI combination and Anafranil.
My sister is currently on 60mg Prozac and 25mg Anafranil.
A small dose of Anafranil- 25-75mg added to an SSRI is fine, IMO.

Also, you need to stop thinking too much about your meds because dreaming about the next drug cocktail to try is a sure fire way of ensuring that the current cocktail is a failure given that probably half of a drugs effect is placebo.
I disagree again. I, in conrast to many scholars, believe the placebo effect is weak.
I have reduced my thinking/analysing my meds as of late, but like I've said before- I'M never going to stop until I get 100% remmission- and THIS IS possible.
Don't disregard CBT either, Drugs + CBT is better than either alone & that is an actual fact.
2 years of CBT unequivocally made my OCD, depression and anxiety worse. No more CBT ever again.
