Hey Ames, thanks for the reply! Im having a problem getting Ultram, my doctor wont prescribe it to me . I think she should thought because ive been on all the ssri's and Ultram has obviously proved to be beneficial in cases of refractory ocd and social anxiety. Maybe ill have to switch doctors.
Ive been trying herbal and amino acid supplements lately ie st johns wort, 5htp, DLPA, and others, but they just dont seem to give me the boost that i need and the relief from my ocd. Do u have any experience with this "natural" route?
Ive never been on any meds like klonopin, but am very interested in trying it from what you have told me. Do u have any side effects on it? Also, did you have any extreme tiredness while on the ssri's?
I think another possible route for my ocd and social anxiety would be stimulant meds like ephedrine or dexedrine. I know this probably sounds strange since these type of meds are usually only discussed in relation to ADD, but a very small dose of ephedrine 5mg, it totally relieves my ocd and social anxiety. Havnt tried dexedrine but i think it could be similar.
Thanks for your help!
