Maybe instead of drugs, the doc should give me earplugs. lol Actually, it does work. =) When my first daughter was born, she had colic and a very, very high pitched scream. I thought I was going to lose my mind for about a month, until I bought some earplugs.

> So, having these things that drive us crazy means OCD? I don't really have the compulsion side though. Do you? I own mannnny ear plugs! I can't even imagine having to endure a baby screaming and HAVING to be there and play mother and be patient w/o losing my mind and killing us both!
> Good job in maintaining!
> KatiaHey Katia, the mere fact that things get on our nerves more so than others might be too simplistic I do know for sure that it is possible for ocd to potentially evolve into "primarally obsessional ocd" ie: obsessions but no apparent compulsions-however if you look deeper into the actual symptoms many times you will find that the obsessions are not the only thing present-but compulsions as well!! If you want, post me back and I'll try to explain what I mean.All I know is this:Since being off of FXR since last May or June 2003 I have been painfully aware of my obsessions and minor compulsions-its' Helllllll- I hate the idea that I might have to go back on effexor to control these problems, but it might be a neccessity
