Hi everyone thanks for your replies. I posted the message a few days ago when it was really bad. It has calmed down a bit now and I feel a lot more in control of my mind. I have seen the doctors about this several times over the years and I've been referred to counselling and CBT therapists. I've not found the CBT very helpful as the OCD/intrusive thoughts seem to come back stronger. I have been on Citalopram since 2010, initially for depression and now to manage OCD. I tried Sertraline last year but it made me more paranoid. Ive never tried any other medication. I was offered a meeting with the health and wellbeing advisor at an unemployment programme I am on at the moment. He has a specialism in OCD so I had a talk with him yesterday. He is going to try and get me some more information on managing my symptoms. I'm not sure whether to try any other medication.

Thank you, I am planning on seeing my doctor again and having something specifically for OCD/Intrusive Thoughts rather than Citalopram that is more of a anti depressant drug. Not Sertraline though as I went crazy on that! I've also found that not having alcohol for two weeks has really helped.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
