Hi Guys.

I was diagnosed with "Non-Compulsive OCD" about 6 months ago. It came about during a nervous breakdown and manifested itself with awful intrusive thoughts of harm, self-harm and stuff that only deepened my depression and anxiety. I seriously thought I was losing my mind and should be locked up. i can't tell you how much of a releif it was to have someone tell my that I wasn't losing my mind and that I had OCD. Thakfully, after several trial rounds of meds and CBT, I was put on 5mg of Lexapro/Cipralex. It worked wonders for me with a combination of CBT.

I slowly had to work up to 20mg a day, and did great for about 4 months. Just recenlty however I've had a slip back and my PDoc recommended going up to 30mg. I know this is outside the normal range, but it seem to be working better.

Anyone else have any experience with this med and OCD?
