I’m not sure if this is allowed on here. Delete if
Has anyone been prescribed medical marijuana to help with their ocd?

I'm not sure if it's allowed either, but I would not recommend mari if you're anxious or paranoic, it can make you feel pretty worse

I’m a daily user (it’s legal here in Canada). It truly makes me feel better BUT…. It depends on the strain!! Some strains are stimulants and others are relaxing. The stimulant strains (sativa) make OCD / anxiety worst for me! I find an Indica or Hybrid with higher CBD content works best for me personally! I just find it’s a temporary fix… I use it mostly in the evenings.

Marijuana has not worked for me. It tends to make me anxious and fixate on my OCD. I hope it works well for you though.

I smoked it 10 years ago for about 6 months. At first it helped my racing thoughts slow down so I could rationalise them but then, as it wasn't exactly legal, I couldn't moderate the use properly. Also, it came from an unregulated source and I'm pretty sure was laced with other drugs or chemicals sometimes. It became a bad habit. There is definitely medicinal value in it but I don't believe it's something you should rely on for ever, and definitely get something legal as its much safer.

I do it once it a while and I find myself feeling very motivated and productive but I’m currently in a school program that drug tests so I can’t do it. I wanted to see if others have a prescription for it since I’ve never heard of anyone getting prescribed it for OCD

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 ?

New diagnosis
I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?
