Resumo

Eleven obsessive-compulsive patients underwent a prospective open-label trial of fluoxetine monotherapy followed by buspirone augmentation. The combination therapy was statistically superior to fluoxetine monotherapy. The results point to the importance of the 5-HT1a receptor in obsessive-compulsive disorder.
