By the way I'm looking into Buspar or Reboxetine befor Zyprexa for my OCD.
>>>>>>Ace, I don't think the Reboxetine is a good idea(?)...I posted about the Reboxetine before mainly for depression folks....I'm afraid that Reboxetine raises norepinephrine and I've read that most ocd'ers already have too high of NE levels.....maybe try the fish oil Ace...I take it (not sure about ocd effect because I take other supps and it's hard to tell 'what does what' sometimes.....fish oil is great for MANY things, incl. overall health, so many health benefits, it's a great supp for EVERYBODY to take!
PS- two questions
1. how long have you had OCD- what age did it start?
>>>>>>>>> Had it about 25 yrs....started to get bad in my early teens (went from very, very, very mild 'tendencies' to unbearable PURE HELL ocd VERY shortly after a bad head injury...I KNOW that played a HUGE part in all of my probs, incl. ocd....ohhhhh, if only that head injury had never happened, I really think that many of my probs would have either never happened OR they would have been MUCH milder forms...that injury changed my life forever, ALL of my problems started VERY shortly right after that.
2. Have you ever used an antipsychotic? ever would?
>>>>>>>I was put on 1 or 2 of them MANY years ago (teens) totally unnecessarily and for incorrect, wrong diagnosis....terrible reaction to one.......I have a "tic" problem...it's not very bad now, not really noticeable now, however at times it has been bad (when a med makes it worse)...anyway, the AP's could well have caused this...hard to say for sure because ocd'ers and tics often go together....but I don't want any part of AP's myself though.....
