By Shelby D Burns, Mon, September 05, 2011. Common antidepressant drugs like Prozac, Zoloft and Lexapro can be effective treatment options for obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD). Patients who take selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are twice as likely to get relief from their symptoms as those on placebo.
A person with OCD may also have other anxiety disorders that complicate treatment and require using other medicines. For children and adolescents with OCD, treatment combining cognitive-behavioral therapy with antidepressants (SSRIs), such as sertraline, works better than only taking medicine. Cognitive-behavioral therapy alone also works well, but it works better if it is combined with medicine.
