Medication Management for OCD
How Medication Can Help:
Decrease the intensity and frequency of obsessive thoughts.
Reduce the urge to perform compulsive rituals.
Improve focus and overall mental clarity.
Medication Management Options for OCD:
SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors):
First-line medications for OCD.
Clomipramine (Anafranil):
A tricyclic antidepressant that’s also effective for OCD when SSRIs alone are not sufficient.
Augmentation Options:
In some cases, additional medications such as low-dose antipsychotics (e.g., aripiprazole or risperidone) may be added to enhance results.
Other medications:
Depending on your specific needs, we may consider additional options for anxiety, mood stabilization, or sleep support.
At Skye Mental Health, medication management is never one-size-fits-all. We take the time to listen, monitor your progress, and adjust your treatment plan as needed to ensure the best possible results. Healing is a process, and we’re here to walk beside you every step of the way.
