After you are diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), your doctor will likely prescribe antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as fluoxetine (for example, Prozac). Antidepressants are thought to help balance neurotransmitters (such as serotonin) in your brain.ntidepressants (SSRIs) such as fluoxetine (for example, Prozac), fluvoxamine (Luvox), and sertraline (Zoloft) are commonly prescribed to treat OCD.
As outlined in the section, âRegulating of Brain Chemistryâ, research as shown that people with OCD often benefit from drugs that increase the levels of serotonin available to transmit messages in the brain. The main medications that do this are known as serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs). They are the most commonly prescribed drugs in the treatment of OCD, and are also used to treat depression. SRIs belong to a class of drugs called antidepressants. Most doctors treating OCD with medication will prescribe an SRI. This medication helps to reduce the symptoms of OCD for about 70 per cent of the people who take it. For those who do not benefit from taking SRI drugs, other drug treatments may provide relief. Other drugs may also be prescribed to address specific symptoms, and taken in addition to SRIs.
