i guess it differs from person to person. my friend takes seroquel(quetiapine), risperdal(risperidone) and sertralin(sertraline).

Does your friend take Risperdol and Serequel specifically for obsessed thoughts or for some other symptom/problem?

he takes all of those for his ocd, but its pretty severe(but well controlled with strong medication) and has some schizophrenic qualities to it, dunno how common it is with ocd. i dont remember exact doses, but he takes 8 pills in day of i remember right
