i'm in the midst of a bout with OCD and its been 2 weeks since i started back on my meds. my pdoc has said it'll be a good 4 weeks before they kick in (i hope i can make it), so in the meantime i'm holding on for dear life. i've been through this exact scenario before and its not any easier this time around. my nights have been relatively calm and peaceful, but last night i started worrying that i wouldn't be able to get to sleep and i'd lay awake all night. when the morning came and it was time to go to work, i wouldn't be able to get out of bed, my boss would fire me and i'd be in an even worse position. i took a xanax last night and that helped a great deal, went right to sleep. my question is this: what other things can i take that have a calming effect? xanax makes me so sleepy and i feel fuzzy headed if i take it during the day. i'm absolutely miserable, can't eat, don't want to exercise like i normally do, don't want to talk to my friends and am afraid i'll never feel "normal" again. help!
