Hi! I have been diagnosed with OCD and am very new to talking about it . I would like someone to talk to as well. I started taking Paxil January 2005 and it has definitely helped me. I have always been a perfectionist and felt I was giving in to this when I began using the medicine. My husband has been very supportive of my OCD and tries to help me but I am sure he gets frustrated not totally understanding how I feel or why I continue cleaning so much! The Paxil has definitely improved my life. Don't get me wrong I constantly still have challenges. But, it was a good start. Hope this helps some, please write back.
