Have you tried other medication? I know it's frustrating to try new medications, but it's worth a shot.

@Ben84 Mate....I feel like I want to be with a man but it just upsets me and I freak out. I was so into women. But I even doubt that now. Do you take medication?

@Ihateocd83 I take sertraline (Zoloft). I've also taken some Abilify with it before. Right now I take 100 mg of sertraline, but it can be prescribed up to 200 mg.

@Ben84 I seriously don't know my friend....I go gym. I'm just hounded by these thoughts all day and night until I'm asleep.

@Ihateocd83 Hmm... Consider talking with your doctor about different medication. While it's no substitute for therapy, try things like Chrissie Hodges videos on You Tube and the OCD Stories podcast. When possible, maybe use a sound/white noise machine or soothing music like Chpoin's Nocturnes. This might give you something to focus on away from ruminating thoughts.

It seems to work okay for me. I've tried doing without multiple times, but then have an episode of some kind. So now I just keep it at 100 mg. But it can be prescribed up to 200 mg.

@Ben84 I did early .....and she said maybe Ween yourself off of this one. But I don't know if I will be able to cope. So I'm just going to continue with the paroxetine......apparently its one of the strongest ones
