In reply to medication breaks and increased OCD?, posted by juniper on March 9, 2000, at 23:51:43
Hello Juniper,
It is possible that stopping the effexor allowed OCD symptoms to return, and now the Effexor isn't helping as much as before. This could be possible.
My OCD is out-of-control right now. For me, it's seasonal. My depression is bad right now, and because of that everything else is worse. Could your depression be seasonal?
From what I understand, OCD is a coping mechanism for anxiety or ADHD. So whatever increases your anxiety or ADHD could increase your OCD. If you are more depressed now, for whatever reason, your anxiety could be worse, and then your OCD.
I'm half asleep, so I hope I made some sense, janice
