>i might call you later today.
Please do.
>and Definately OCD yesterday.
Classic bad thoughts.
>but when they come they are strong.
I'm sorry to hear that. Have you had any added stress in your life? Remember, they are just OCD thoughts, not really what you believe.
>its because i have reprieve inbetween that i am able to fight this
I have a lot of recommendations for fighting the thoughts.
>i know when they are here that soon they will be gone.
Its called 'spiking'.
>i think i might take a little extra zyprexa tonight just to be on the safe side
You have two valuable tools medication-wise. Both the Gabapentin and the Zyprexa can help with the OCD. However, even more important than they are is a good antidepressant. The Pristiq should really be helping with the obsessive symptoms, but its not-time to change it out for something that really helps.

ps. I have OCD.
