So, my pdoc cut my Memantine dose in half. It's an Alzeimers drug that they have found can help sometimes with extreme OCD. You only take it for a few months to kind of re-wire the receptors. Anyway, I've had a 24 hour panic attack with obsessing too! I'm obsessing over some computer stuff and I can't let it go! I was up pretty much all night with my heart raecing, hot flashes, shaking, nauseous, etc. It's still going on and so is the obsessing! My Xanax isn't even touching it! I keep telling myself that the obsession is temporary. My feeling is just chemical. I'm so tired of mental illness!!!!!!!!

That's sounds rough.
Maybe it would be better to go back on the full dose of memantine? Or maybe it was too soon to the cut the dose in half. I'm not sure. But I hope you start to feel better soon. Call your doctor and see what he/she has to say. Maybe he/she can up your xanax or something (which I wouldn't personally recommend, but I don't know). Hugs, hashi!

That must feel awful. Don't feel bad about calling your pdoc; there is no need to suffer and I doubt this is what they expected or they would have warned you or given you other options.

Started doing better last night. I think I exhausted my body and mind so bad that I kind of zoned out. My DH also talked me through stuff that I was obsessing about. It helps to say things out loud just to hear how some of it is ridiculous! The things that didn't sound ridiculous, my husband was like, believe ME, not your thoughts. Ugh. Thanks for all the hugs and concern guys! That's why I love coming here!
