Experiences with CT OCD?

Chris2000 · 11-19-2009, 10:03 AM

This is hell and intense. Anyone else suffered really badly with this? Mine started when I took the meds and has been almost constant ever since. Yes I do relaxation and CBT but its so intense even after 8 months.

i've got really bad obsessional OCD right now. but i always had it to some degree. and the meds actually made it much better. it came flooding back when i stopped the meds.

Chris,

Im so right with you on that one my friend, and never ever experienced any of this until tapering paxil and in w/d. Im down to 2mg now so hopefully fingers crossed this side of w/d doesnt hang around too long eh.
Relaxation and cbt didnt cut it for me either.
