> Alright, so I have ADHD and OCD and have some mood instability. I'm also being evaluated for Epilepsy-TLE type. I take Dexedrine, Lexapro, Geodon, Lithium and Zonegran.

> PO.K. So you're in exposure therapy--may I ask for what issues?--or feel free to take a pass on that personal info. Does that work with inner thoughts as part of it? Like CBT?
I have also borrowed from DBT--especially distress tolerance. Right now, mindfulness based cognitive therapy (meditation focused on the breath and acceptance of thoughts, feelings and sensations). I'm working on affirmations, talking back (kindly). This is all helping me--plus psyhcotherapy. D-amp makes them shush to a tolerable level as well.
Sometimes the inner voice (what I'm calling it may not be what you are referring to) is quite loud and pins me to the mat and seems more than I can bear.
When I first started AD's they remitted a bit--but not for long.
Good luck, really. Are you finding anything helpful in these board responses?
I'm sorry to read you are having this difficulty. Does it say anything to you in particular? (Not that you need to share that here.)
You can always babblemail me.
