But I could never go above a very low therapeutic level, due to emotional numbness and or/switches into hypomania-like states.
Is this really 'obsessional' thinking? I mean, what about the actual quality of the thoughts? The twisting around of things in my head until I manage to make mountains of every mohehill and I get completely overwhelmed and horrified.
Is there even another anti-obsessional drug aside from high doses of SSRI's like luvox?
thanks,
