Also, when i have a small bag or chips or crackers, I have to count each one I eat so I know how much are in the bag. Sometimes, I get frustrated and stop counting. I can not even enjoy a snack with this compulsion. The above is in addition to the checking and thoughts I have. The checking is worse than the thoughts.
I was taking Luvox, but really did not find it that helpful with either the OCD or depression. I went to the pdoc and he told me it was the bipolar and switched me to prozac. I still deal with the number thing, but I think I am better off medicated then I would be with nothing at all. The prozac also helps the depression.

You do not have to feel stupid cause I have the counting thing too but I count all of my meds and count how much of candy I have and when like a customer service tell me different things like how much mins I use on the phone then I call again about the same thing and Its getting crazy cause I buy too things of the same thing when Iam shopping like If I buy lotion then I have to buy the same lotion too times .Good luck with your ocd cause It sucks
