I think I looked it up on ask a patient once and there were mixed reviews. What are you taking now? I do wonder if a med can eliminate it or it's just something that is with you for life. Something inheritated as both my parents were ocd like. Only times it didn't effect me was when busy working and not focusing on myself. Problem now. Phillipa

As a 5ht1a partial agonist, it kicks *ss. It works quickly and treats my OCD to the point I don't even have to worry about it. I was doing well at 40 mg, but my pdoc upped me to 60 mg and a ton of the OCD just melted away.

Its a 5ht1a partial agonist. There are no other SSRIs that have this mechanism of action.
