 Serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the most commonly used agents in the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). However, approximately one-third of the patients do not respond to SSRIs and remain chronically ill. In this study, we administered a combination of aripiprazole and an SSRI to 13 treatment-refractory OCD patients who failed to responded to an adequate dose of SSRIs for at least 2 months. The 13 patients received aripiprazole+SSRI treatment for 7 weeks, after which their condition was evaluated using Y-BOCS and GAF scales. Although the combination treatment yielded a significant effect on both the scales, we had to administer antiparkinsonian drugs to nine patients to alleviate their extrapyramidal symptoms. We believe that treatment with aripiprazole in conjunction with SSRIs is effective in treatment-refractory OCD.
