Medication Panic Attacks

its a spiritual problem!

The seratonin is not produced enough to carry a full message and the whole thing is confused. I don’t agree entirely with the theory because I can control my OCD with diligence so how can this medical theory hold up. I think it is more complex than anyone can imagine.

I’ve had OCD for about 30 years, thats why you got your notes, everything has to be logged, written down as like a checklist. The neuro transmitters in the brain carry visible images and mental thoughts through the optic nerve, these are carried through by the seratonin to the deciphering part of the brain, this then disagrees with the “proof” part of the brain and asks for like a second opinion, gets it but wishes not to accept it and so the repetition.

I’m on 20 mg Celexa per day, although 40-60 mg is the norm for OCD. The only person in control of how you feel about yourself and what goes on inside your head is you. That was the biggest thing I learned. I prefer feeling good about myself. I used to obsess constantly over my silly obsession, and it still pops at times. But now I just challenge the thought, and move on.

Good luck!

Nice video brotha! My OCD first popped up about a year ago, and it took me a while to get control of myself again. I found the biggest obstacle to be that I’ve got this “weakness” and that it is not going to completely go away. As soon as I accepted that it’s a part of me, I’ve found myself to be a lot more at peace. Instead of wishing for it to just go away, I just focus on my current situation, wait for the anxiety to lessen, occasionally I’ll challenge the intrusive thought or whatever.

Thanks mate.

Apparently some antipsychotics can help (never tried any). Also, I have tried inositol (in the b-vitamin family) and found it supresses the urges (could be placibo tho). I don’t use it anymore since my OCD really isn’t that bad anymore. When I was little the rituals used to eat up hours of my day but now it’s really minimal in comparison.

It’s a difficult thing to deal with isn’t it, I myself have had OCD for a long time but it’s gotten a lot better as I’ve got older, I’m now 29. Doctors have a lot of useful advice but I find myself that positive thinking helps the most

the earliest i can remember myself performing a ritual was around grade 4 (wash the hands with soap and dig the nail and and say to my self nail 1 clean,nail 2 clean etc over and over again. its been about 10 years now and i have new problems and old problems have gotten even worst. now i wash my hands with soap to the point the skin is really bad,i re read sentences to make sure i understand it,the worst is when i get a stupid topic into my head and i can’t stop thinking about it.

It is intense. Rituals I am damned with, amongst others, is hand clenching.. My fingernails are broken and my hands and fingers hurt. I broke down to my partner soon after I posted here. She was very understanding. She has spent her life working with mentally disabled people.(none OCD) I asked her not to bring it up again. My thoughts now, having opened up to it, is how do I seek cure. I dont think there is medicine.. Is there? still not able to see a doctor.. Is there anything I can do?

Hi whammysam I’m sorry to hear you’ve got problems and I’m pleased I could be of some help, even a little. OCD is nothing to be scared of, any good doctor should be able to advise you without judging

Thanks for youre advice. I’ve had it since a early stage. It dissapeared for a long time, but has returned. I always believed that I was in control of it.. But now worried it might start controlling me.. Just cant see a doctor.. Havent told my mam or dad.. Not said a word to the wife, I just wouldnt know where to start.. I havent got the guts.

Thanks for the comment
