Memantine IR - Alternative to SSRIs, SNRIs, and TCAs for Obsessive-Compuslive Disorder

I've been taking Memantine IR for almost a month now. Taken twice a day - once upon rising and once in the evening. I'll eventually be titrated up to 10 MG x2. It has definitely reduced the intensity of my anxiety from OCD and GAD. Something I wish I did before ruining my life with finasteride. I'll probably take this for life as there's no downsides.

I have avoided SSRIs, SNRIs, and TCAs because I have Post-Finasteride Syndrome and do not need Post SSRI Sexual Dysfunction on top of this. Even if I did not have PFS, I knew of PSSD. Trust me when I say this PSSD (and PFS) are 100 times worse than OCD.

If you're looking into medication for OCD, well first take lifestyle changes and try ERP/therapy. If that does not work, really think hard about antidepressants and consider Memantine or even the supplement NAC. Permanently destroying one's sexuality and having emotional blunting/anhedonia is much worse than OCD.
