OCD and ADHD
Has anyone who has taken stimulants benefited or struggled after taking them?

Benefited completely! how ever I need to be pretty aware of what my goals are for the day in order to make the best use of them, sometimes when I’m not I might spend most of my time on my compulsions (obsessive cleaning). But overall it helps me with so much in my life I recommend you try and monitor with your psych! Hope this helps!

A while ago I decided to go onto antidepressants after getting really low with OCD, and I tried many to no effect. I then tried clomipramine and got on really well with it (I still do). I changed therapists a few months ago and now see a doctor, she told me that I have adhd (now diagnosed) and strangely enough- clomipramine is a medication that is used for treating ADHD also. Which is probably why this is the medication that’s worked so well for me. I’m only on a low dose and feel it needs to be increased but in comparison to other meds I’ve been on where I’ve been taking more than double the strength of what I’m on now…it’s great.

Confused
I have a question My OCD has felt almost invisible the past few weeks and now that is starting to stress me out a lot. Right now I am at a point in my treatement where I was asked if I would like to take medication. I told my therapist this week that I would like to try the medication based on how miserable I feel in during OCD flare ups. But now my brain always tells me that I only go throught this treatement etc. to seek attention and that I am just dramatic and should be ashamed of myself for wanting to take this medication. So now I am doubting if I should take the medication or not. Any advice?

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.
