Hi guys.
I have a very high anxiety disorders, wich brought me to Pure O-OCD as well.
I have had some Panic Attacks in the past, and I can say it is pure hell.

Just latelly I decided to search for professional help. I went to the therapist, and it helped a bit. She prescribed me some meds (Rivotril and Anafranil), and I started taking them. They helped, and I feel slightly better. But the problem is that my libido has drastically fallen! I mean, really drastically! I never thought that would be a real problem, but it is.

Guys, it is horrible to spend weeks without even wanting to touch yourself. I feel disgustted just by thinking of sex. And that is really weird for someone who used to touch himself at least once everyday.
And I miss the days when I was sexually active, or at least could touch myself. Not to mention that with these meds there are numerous other side effects, like loss of memmory, loss of balance, I can't drink alcohol, etc.
So, basically, I want to stop taking those meds to get back to normal, but I am afraid of the panic attacks. What if they come back?

Also, the psychologist is not helping me very much. We just sit, and she asks me what happenned with me during the week. She wants me to talk, to put thinks out of my chest. I mean, she is ok, but I don't want someone to talk to. I have my friends for that. If she wants to help me on the Anxiety disorder, intrusive thoughts and OCD, she has to be much more active than just wanting to hear from me what happenned. I feel like just talking to a friend, and not a doctor. And I don't need to talk, I need therapy! I need healing! So I stopped going to the psychologist. If I had depression, then it would be ok to sit and talk and get things off my chest, but that is not the case!

Can anyone give me any advice? Anything you can say will help me.
Thanks in advance!
