I take anti-depressant to treat OCD. For me, it was a life saver. There were literally weeks I sat in the office and couldn't work. I couldn't sleep, workout etc. either. Today I'm taking 150mg effexor and got my life back. (never had an OCD outbreak since started taking the medicine) Having said all that, the most irritating aspect of it for me is weight gain. I used to be pretty lean and after almost a year on effexor I gained 13 pounds..
