Thank you for responding!!! I have actually considered the hormonal IUD but my body and brain can’t handle it too well (the hormones) I’ll definitely speak to my doctor about anksilon! Thanks so much for the info!

@emkala THANK YOU! I feel you about Kyleena. My doctor said I should get it because it only spreads hormones in the reproductive region not throughout the body! So we will see! I’m happy you mentioned something similar to buspar. Do you mind me asking what ocd theme you have?

@emkala Right omg with the copper iud I had... the pain was awful. I think because it is bigger and it’s COPPER hahah so I got it taken out bc my periods were so heavy. I’ll look into it!

@Dess I am sorry to hear that! :( That sucks. I really feel you about not wanting to use extra hormones! I wanted to get the copper IUD sooo bad but my doctor explained that if I get one there is a huge chance that my situation will get worse. She works at birth control centre so I believed her. It is true that "natural periods" can cause you to have serious menstrual disorders. :/ Not nice.

I’ve taken buspar but just for anxiety in general (before I knew I had OCD). I took it on two separate occasions. The first occasion it took like 3 weeks to start working but because I was under an incredible about of anxiety and fear and didn’t calm down until I was in a better environment. The second time it worked instantly it seemed and not only knocked my anxiety way low but my intrusive thoughts and fear of them had disappeared (I have suicidal OCD so when I noticed that the medication was working and I purposely tried to trigger myself to see if it helped, the thought didn’t bother me at all!) I did have to stop taking it because it started causing me lightheadedness. This probably didn’t answer your actual question but that was just my experience with buspar!

No no that was very helpful thank you!!!!!! I’ve read so many good reviews about it and some bad. But I like the fact that it’s non habit forming AND non addictive like the benzos I was used to. I’m glad it helped with your intrusive thoughts!
