No Medication
Hi guys, do some people with ocd not take any medication ? Do you just manage it with ERP? Or do you have any supplements you use that can help instead? Thanks :)

Can’t speak from experience bc I take medication, but many people on here have recovered by just doing ERP :D exposure therapy is the most effective treatment for OCD and it can be beneficial to pair it with medication too, but ERP is the main thing that will help you recover. 💓

Yes, I just dealt with by knowing it was OCD and not letting the thoughts take over. I didn't know about erp until recently. I have had OCD for 25 years. I briefly tried SSRis but they made me feel sick

Hey! I didn’t take medication for the longest time when I was doing ERP. I was doing great and learning how to move past those thoughts without medication. Now, I do take medication because of a lifestyle change. I’ve noticed that I have an easier time letting thoughts and feelings go with it. Either way I’m getting through ERP. Do what feels right for your body and brain!
