Efficacy of trazodone as an anti obsessional agent.
Eight patients with chronic Obsessive-Compulsive Neurosis were subjected to Trazodone, an antidepressant acting on the serotinergic system. After 4 weeks of treatment, 6 showed significant reduction in the obsessional symptoms which was sustained after a 6-week follow-up. The 2 patients who did not show improvement had a significantly higher trait score than the others on psychometric ratings.
