Abstract

About one-third of patients affected by obsessive-compulsive disorder fail to respond to serotonergic drugs and different strategies have been proposed for these resistant cases. This article reports experiences with venlafaxine in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder who did not respond or did not tolerate serotonergic drugs.
