I took medication for my OCD, and everything that comes with it, for over twenty years. Things didn’t get easier until I started ERP therapy. Homework is hard, but that’s okay. When OCD, and all its angry friends come to test you, you’ll be so much more prepared, when you’ve put in the work ahead of time. Life can be scary, but you are never truly alone in it.
I’m realizing how important medication is after not being on it and trying to conquer OCD depression and anxiety without it. It’s like fighting in a war with a broomstick.
@Deano12 I wish I could just find a medication that would calm my OCD down. I can’t take SSRIs and I’ve tried tons of them. I guess I am antidepressant resistant. And I’ve tried those that are not SSRI’s that are in a different category. Anyway, I do take Lamictal, but it doesn’t help with OCD. You are very fortunate that you can take medication and it works for you.
@Cher54 I’m on Lamictal as well as Prozac. I was on Lexapro and it didn’t help. I’ve been on Prozac in the past and it was helpful so I’m hopeful it will be again. It’s all trial and error.
