--------------Someone else recently posted with OCD symptoms. Not to say you have OCD, but it might be worth looking into, particularly if you have a history of such fears. Chronic, intrusive thoughts are a hallmark of the disorder, along with the rituals one performs to reduce the specific thought anxiety. Given that you responded well to Celexa, and large-dose SSRIs are a first line treatment for such problems, perhaps you could discuss the possibility of either increasing your Celxa, or augmenting with another SSRI (Paxil).
