OCD Hmmmm new diagnosis

[hogananjiggs]

Not really an accomplishment but had appt on Wed ..... turns out I have OCD along with cPTSD (good punk rock song in there oi) that makes things a little clearer on why nasty thoughts would not leave me alone and pop up for no reason.
Plus weaning off meds to see if it helps cause the ones I'm on are making things real nasty. Fingers crossed

Oh yes. The nasty OCD thoughts.
Which meds are you weaning off?

Congrats on at least knowing which diagnosis you're battling. :)

Oh and welcome to the site!

YAY! Weaning off meds is one of the best decisions I have made. Glad to hear you are starting that journey. It must feel good to get a proper diagnosis so you can start the road to healing :) x

Ye it's nice to know that's for sure. I'll be coming off effexor. I think it has been messing up most of all .

I am on Effexor and I downdosed from four pills to three a day and it took about two months for me to stabalize, I have read of people getting brain zaps when going off of this medication, not looking forward to that at all. I wish you the best and please keep updating.

Ya that's what I was told " hopefully you don't great brain zaps"
