Definitely. I've cut all caffeine for 2 months now and I'm way less anxious/panicky (in my case it made my body way oversensitive to any stimulation). I also have IBS lol so coffee is a no-no. I still love the smell of coffee tho

@Wonder24 I'm too afraid to try tbh, I replaced coffee with matcha (green tea)

It can for some people, yes. I’ve been taking in caffeine since I was 18 years old and I have ADD, so it doesn’t do much except wake me up a little at this point 😆

Yes, but it seems like the amount matters for me. I keep a log book of things I eat and consume. I can have a cup of coffee. If I have 3 cups of coffee, it’s too much. Energy drinks? No go. It’s too much. I also found that artificial sweeteners and certain food dyes like Red 40 have a significant impact on me.

Does anyone else have the strong urge to do some sort of drugs sometimes when there ocd gets really bad or over nothing in general, like I’ll just be sitting doing nothing and my brain goes “you need to do cocaine right now or else” and I get a urge and it’s so like odd to me??? I’ve never done drugs in my life and never plan to because my father was a addict and I’ve seen what they’ve done to people so it scares me when I get these thoughts and then I get the urge to reach out to someone who can give me drugs and I play this whole scenario in my mind where I contact someone and I meet up with them and pay them for the drugs and then I take them and die and it’s like??? Idk I’ve had weird intrusive thoughts involving drugs before but this is like different if that makes sense, I also can’t stop focusing on how my body feels when this happens like it’ll feel like I was a previous addict and that I’m going through withdrawal and need something or else and it’s just so weird to me. Anyone else go through this?

I have been taking Prozac 40mg daily it seems to be helping my ocd . I read that 60-80 mg has seemed to help people more with ocd Wondering if anyone has any experience with this. Thanks

Has anyone been prescribed Escitalopram for their OCD? And if so what was your experience like. I just got into my 2nd week of it and got bumped up to 20mg. Today has been weird because my anxiety is gone which has been for a bit but the thoughts seem stronger today especially the Harm related ones. Almost like commands now. Can anyone relate?
