My first DBT leader thought I had OCD, and that's why she suggested seeing a pdoc for meds. The pdoc said I'd need LOTS of zoloft to treat it, but I couldn't stand the side effects at the lowest dose, so there's NO WAY I will try any meds again. They aren't for me. I know there are other meds, but I just don't want to go there. The pdoc had me on valium and ambien to counteract the zoloft. No way! I get shaky from tylenol!

Some of my Ts think I have OCD, and I know I have some of the symptoms. I don't check things in my house, though. I just obsess about people, mostly Ts.
