Maybe learning about why you have such thoughts in the first place may be helpful until you find a med that works.

Here is a short summary:

(ignore the word disorder-i just thought a short article that provided a concrete example may be helpful)
Meds to help? I really wish I had an answer for you. Clomapramine or SSRIs is what's indicated in the psychiatric manuals I scanned through-seratonin blamed to be the culprit in many cases. Oh, you can't do clomapramine.. Norepinephrine acting meds added for those with comorbid depression and dopamine meds can worsen the condition - like wellbutrin.
