Cognitive behavioral therapy and meds

There’s an excellent book by the psychiatrist to first identified OCD and treatments for it that is likely very helpful, it’s written for non experts to understand and follow, look up “Brain Lock” by Dr Schwartz. I do not have OCD but found the book fascinating and helpful to my non OCD issues.

I’m considering participating in a Stanford antidepressant medication clinical trial. Obviously not interested in money but curious to try it and see if it can help with symptoms (I’m on SSRI currently). It’s not a brand new medication, it’s used currently but for other diagnoses (hypertension, ADHD). So to me it seems like a relatively low risk. Has anyone done this? What was your experience?
