Ive had terrible ocd most of my life and recently the only thing that "somewhat" helps is the med.. Not without some side effects- physical and mental I suppose. This kinda makes me feel helpless like thats all that works- and it just Lessens it to a degree, Not like great results. My anxiety never responded much therapy, depression as well to an extent. oh well.

80mg Prozac helped so much. But I can't get off it. I stopped it for three months for some reason. It's like a debate where my mind in psychotic like OCD is fighting with the me (on meds). I don't remember much but it was horrible. It was just a blur but what I remember was being extremely anxious (Worse than when I started) that consisted of about 50-100 hypomanic episodes with about 20 manic episodes (Those ones got the big 12mg risperidone dose to knock me out) but I would get manic again a few days later. So I started taking 80mg again for three days until I got a panic attack that landed me in the hospital. After that I started taking 40mg a day and my anxiety went away in a few days.

I'm kinda scared yknow.. Lol..
