It seems that my "OCD" evolved out of a more general anxiety disorder....I used to be somewhat agoraphobic....terrified of being in any situation that would render me vulnerable to panic attacks. After maybe 10 years of developing a very well defined set of avoidance behaviors, my anxiety morphed (gradually) into more of a compulsive disorder where much of my daily life was rigidly framed by a very specific set of routines that had to be completed, regardless of utility or absurdity. This ultimately resulted in sleep deprivation issues & job-related stress (lateness, unproductivity). I was particularly obsessed with particular numbers on a digital clock & would force myself to restrict my actions unless it happened to be at a favored time (I am still suffer from anxiety if I purchase a clothing item on an odd calendar date, & generally do not do so). This in spite of 10+ years on paxil. I am nowe transitioning to celexa in the hopes of attaining a renewee effectiveness. Does anyone else on this forum take meds for both anxiety & ADHD? I wonder how common is this co-morbidity?
