Yo Triple G Unit,
Nice wording - an 'antiquated and messy OCD panacea'. Beam me back to the sixties. Perhaps you need to smoke grass with it to work. Well, actually I've tried that and it resulted into pretty severe depersonalization. 'Mr. Docter is completely cured of his OCD. Problem is, he now thinks he is a pencil sharpener.'
You can say that again - time flies. I realize now that while I'm so impatient with making a next pharmacotherapeutical move, I've been twistin' and tweakin' meds for over two years now... Brainbeard, how about sticking to a med for at least a month?!
Sorry, I start talking to myself. Yeah. Inner peace. I found myself biting my nails like a cannibal while sitting in my bus home today.
Indeed - I'm countering clomipramine's start-up anxiety with 5HT2A-antagonists, which may well interrupt reaching steady therapeutic results.
I think I oughta give the med three months - at most. That's how long a med can take before it works for OCD.
Current meds: clomipramine 225mg, fluvoxamine (Luvox) 50mg
As needed: bethanechol 25-50mg, oxazepam 5-10mg
