I believe you can! A few years ago my OCD was extremely severe and i would spend whole days doing compulsions, but after doing ERP for a year, I managed to return to normal and barely did any compulsions. I’m sure meds can help though, especially if you are dealing with other mental health disorders aswell.

Thank You so much my friend for sharing your welcomed opinions, I stopped taking meds long time ago, recently since almost two months my OCD hit again hard, the symptoms are intense but I'm trying my best. But truth to be said, I still avoid to go far from home. I hope one day I can gain the courage needed for me to be really free. Keep your spirit up like that 🌞💕

I stopped taking medicines since long time, I believe changing our mindes though some specific deep meditations lead to change our lives, but it's not easy at all. Thank You for sharing your opinion my friend🌺

I do think it’s possible, and it just depends on the person. For me personally, meds commonly used for ocd aren’t the safest idea since I’m also bipolar. But I know others who have gotten support and relief from the right meds. A good, trusted doctor is important when considering them though. Wish you well!

It must be tough for You dealing with two things at the same time, don't You think that the origin is one and all what comes after is a result of it? anyway, thank You kindly for sharing your words and opinion with me, I too think it's possible but it's never easy. meds help a lot but they don't fix the root of the problem. Wishing You all the best🌸 Peace🕊️

I am sure can but meds do help tremendously. It will probably be harder but nothing is impossible

Definitely :) The alternative is ERP therapy, which many people have lots of success with 👍 It’s the #1 Ocd treatment. Medicine isn’t a requirement

Thank You my friend, the problem is that the side effects and symptoms of OCD and anxiety are unbearable at times, meds help with that but not with the real cause and root of OCD. Thank You again my friend☺️ All The Best💕🙏🏻

I haven't used medicines, but I'm not knocking them, so long as they're combined with talk therapy from a trained OCD therapist who uses ERP therapy. Taken together, they can be very effective. However, I understand that meds without talk therapy have only marginal success.

Exactly! meds without active therapy don't fix the root of the problem. Thank You my friend for your insightful words. All The Best 🙏🏻💕

I think using medication helps but addressing the root cause is important, going out of your way to prove your fears wrong ❤️🩹

Meds
Does anyone who has OCD NOT TAKE MEDS? Is it possible to not take them and manage life in a way that is productive. (Not really sure what word to use here but I think you all get the idea)

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

ERP THERAPY BY MYSELF
It could be possible to treat a severe scrupulosity OCD without taking medication and asking guidance from the psychiatrist? I can't afford for professional consultation 🥹. Can anybody give me some advices on how to deal with these intrusive thoughts? 🙏
