Wow, we actually agree on something.

When I took it, it made me worse off than before.

Paxil did wonders for my friend with depression and mild OCD. (He was mildly bipolar so I don't know if the depression was separate from that or whether it was bipolar depression.)

we finally found a combo that significantly improved OCD symptoms for both of my sons. It took years and an understanding that there was also a rapid cycling mood disorder in the mix to get the combo right, however.
