Ocd cure

Hey everyone I take zoloft for ocd 50mg and I still have ocd really bad like still check over over again seeing if the stove is all for the fifty time counting over over again and It was a year since I was on zoloft now .Do anybody take two meds for ocd?If you do what are yall taking.

Hi there.

I no longer take medication because it made me worse, but at one point I was taking prozac (anti-anxiety) and seroquel (anti-psychotic). My psychiatrist told me that the anti-psychotic would help the anti-anxiety med work better...maybe you could ask your psychiatrist about adding on an antipsychotic medication?

The medication DID work, it lessened my anxiety and obsessive thinking...but I also became somewhat of a zombie...I felt very sluggish. I decided I'd rather be "myself" with the anxiety, than a zombie without anxiety. :P However, it might work for you. Talk to your psychiatrist, and good luck!

Yeah I am going to ask him for one .Sorry you felt like a zombie cause that do sucks

I was also on 50mg Zoloft and just felt 'flat' and continued having some intrusive thoughts and constant checking if stove was off before leaving home, etc ..i got tired of the 'flatness', numbness, having no emotion..also felt the same 'flatness' after being on other SSRIs for awhile..so I asked the DR if there were any alternative meds I could try..he suggested 18mg/day of Inositol..it's helped a bit and now in addition i'm trying 900mg of St. John's wort..i should feel the effects in about 2 more weeks and i'll let you know..might also add 50-100mg of 5-htp and see if that helps..

Ok i was thinking about trying st john wort does that help you cause a little bit the omega 3 fish oil improve my contration a little bit.

Omega 3 fish oil improves concentration? Not trying to change the subject here, but I struggle with concentration, and that might be worth trying if it helps.

There's no cure for OCD, but meds can help some people.

Yeah since I was on 3 fish oil My concentration is getting better and I can focus on reading books that was boring yeah it does works better than the adhd meds.

Thanks! I'll probably try it, as I've been considering it for a while now, anyway.

I was on fish oil for a month now and I am seeing good results and Iam not taking my adhd meds cause of the stupid side affects Iam now able to focus and stay still I get my fish oil from walmart and not expensive there.

It's only been 2wks on the St John's wort..im told i should feel an effect after 3wks so i'll let you know..

What is the dosage of fish oil you take?
thanks

Ok cool i take 1,000 dosage
