Thanks for the reply. There is a difference between heavy drinking and alcoholism, which i have. With alcoholics, we can be faced with long-term inprisonment, divorce, loss of a career, bad health, etc., all as a result of drinking, but then go out and continue to drink without considering the consequences. This is not a comprehensive picture of the alcoholic, but one of many i could relate to.
I not only have pure-o ocd, but i have mood disorder not otherwise specified with psychotic features. So my meds include mood stabilizers and antipsychotics that also help with OCD. They are as follows:
Lamictcal 400 mg
Trazadone 50 mg
Neurontin 900 mg 2x a day
Geodon 160 mg
Trilafon 8 mg
Effexor 75 mg
Buspar 15 mg 3x a day
I know it's alot, and you probably won't need as many meds. I'm also in counseling once every other week.
I hope this helps.
