Ketamine / Psilocybin / TMS?
Has anyone tried Ketamine / Psilocybin / TMS for Ocd? What was your experience like?

I don't have personal experience but I listened to a podcast by Andrew huberman where he goes through studies of all of these treatments for ocd. I THINK he said there was no evidence supporting psilocybin or tms but some for controlled ketamine. I would look it up and listen for yourself though.

i’m currently doing a nasal spray for me of ketamine treatment called spravato. it has worked well for me combatting my depression. it didn’t have much of a direct effect on my ocd except that as my mood lifted and i was more able to regulate my emotions, i would not ruminate as often. the thoughts still came but i was in a better headspace to manage them. hope this helps

Medication
Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.

Medication for OCD?
Medication for OCD? Hello all, 19 male here, this seems like a cool community that isn’t nearly as triggering as reddit. I have pretty severe bouts of existential thinking or fear of going crazy ( psychosis ) after some pretty heavy mushroom trips a few years ago, I know logically I should be fine but I do know what it’s like to lose it and it’s scary. Currently I deal with relationship focused OCD, it’s all day from before I even open my eyes. I want things to work out with my girlfriend badly. Also I can come close to a panic attack sometimes which perpetuates everything. Anyway, I mention the fear of going crazy because the way my anxiety/derealization makes me feel is that I’m not mentally stable cause I feel out of it or unreal. I saw that a lot of anxiety and depression medication can cause psychosis and I feel like I could use some help in getting ahead of my OCD because the compulsions are had not to give into when I’m in such distress/not knowing. Plus overall I just feel like I have no idea how I feel about close to anything. Anyone relate about that ?

Medication or treatment?
I understand that everyone is different but lately I have been debating on medication just because of past experiences but does anyone have any good experiences with medication that has helped them with their OCD as well as therapy or treatment? As of now I’m dealing with it by myself but it feels like it may be getting worse
