I take medication but also CBD to sleep and thoughts go away a lot of the time but more to just relax and unwind. Medicine and ERP together are fantastic i was skeptical but really works wonders u shoukd look in to it if not on it already

I tried CBD for period cramps and it didn't work but I never thought to try it for OCD til recently. Do you take it every day?

I find it helps and sometimes take it when things get really bad. Definitely helps me to get calmer and see things clearer.

i take cbd oil every morning, and i think it helps. it definitely does not have a huge huge impact but it does help.

@callistapopp You mean there's 4000 mg in the bottle? Thats how mine is labeled. And then each dropped is like 33mg so its confusing lol

I use medical marijuana for my PTSD but it also really helps with my OCD compulsions. Like if I go without my medical marijuana for 1 day my compulsions go crazy. I used to have this consistent physical feeling in my stomach that gave me compulsions and would go away if I completed my compulsion. Medical marijuana stopped that horrible feeling. I'm much calmer, less neurotic, I'm out of my shel,l I used to see friends once every like 6 months, now I'm out every day. But medical marijuana either helps or it doesn't it depends on the person.

Yeah. How do you consume it? I would he afraid of feeling "high" but I guess they help you decide a dose that works ?

@Ríona Yes they do and dont be afraid of feeling high you start on a really small dose. I use a vape but you can also smoke bud. The vape is better though because you can just take one hit at a time and see how you feel.

@Ríona If you start with the vape and take one hit at a time you'll be good.

Medication
Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.

New diagnosis
I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?
