Lack of efficacy of low doses of quetiapine addition in refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Abstract

The results of this preliminary open trial suggest that low dose of quetiapine may not be effective in treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder patients. Larger placebo-controlled trials are needed to investigate the clinical efficacy of quetiapine addition at low doses to antiobsessive treatment in treatment-refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder.
