Escitalopram
obsessive compulsive disorde
"I have been on escitalopram for 3 months or so. I take it for mild panic attacks and it seems to have knocked them out for the most part. A side benefit is that my OCD Hs pretty much been eliminated. I didn't really realize that I had OCD but I guess I have always had it. Nothing severe, I couldn't have remotes, cell phones or similar items pointing at me and at work I used to make sure I did everything in a certain order while having all my tools lined up in specific ways. I think now I do it out of habit but I'm not scrambling to put something in order if I notice that it isn't.  I'm not sure what my dosage is but I haven't experienced any negative side effects that I can think of. Hope you all have the same benefits that I do."
