I'm just interested in hearing how certain medications affect your ocd symptoms.

For instance, I find that all atypical antipsychotics that I've tried will cause a huge increase in intrusive thoughts and a sense of having no control over what I think about. In turn, I feel "ramped" up by the anxiety that is produced by a sense of losing control of your mind, and my compulsive side that is normally hidden, comes out and I begin to say and do things I normally wouldn't, which has caused disastrous diagnostic confusion and misinterpretation.

I find that anti depressants (SSRIs) have zero effect on my obsessional thinking, and they did not even have side effects either.

Ativan/Lorazapam seems to slow my obsessional thoughts down to the point they seem to be moving through molasses, and it also reduces the sense of not being in my body. Also, I find they permit much greater attention to be given to things right in front of me; I notice more of what's happening in my surroundings and feel more engaged.

Vitamin D and omega 3 have played a very large role in stabilizing my moods, and hence thinking, during the winter months, and this is no doubt due to their effects on serotonin and dopamine, which are generally considered by some extent dysfunctional in OCD.
