He said I can do the Medicene route which he admitted works on only 50% of patients, or I can go the therapy route.

I've used Effexor and Paxil. Both worked well. Supposedly cognitive therapy is the long-term answer; however, the drugs alone worked for me. Guess I didn't have a severe case of it. My OCD was related to recurring negative thoughts, which produced depressive effects.

ETA: Only stayed on the medicine for a few short months each stint. Haven't had the problem in any major way since.
