Yea I have pondered going deeper into the antipsychotic realm but also am not certain what to do with the fact that they often are not poorly tolerated for long term. At my time at mclean hospital, I saw many others with ocd, some worse than I. I also saw the effects of what antipsychotic medications can do(shakes weight gain memory non existent) and quite honestly feel as if my life got any worse I couldn't handle it. And while d2 antagonists are effective for tics, I am not sure how helpful they are for ocd, which is my chief complaint, as even when my ticks are at their worse they don't bother me even when i shout in public. I will definitly look into the saffron, from my reading it looks like the extract used in most studies is similar to a component of tylenol, so I'll be weary of liver side effects. Other than that I guess I could talk about pregabalin again, but when I mean I had a problem in benzos and od I mean I took one, became drug seeking, yelled at people, then found them and just kept taking them till I blacked out, so maybe that's why she got scared off. Other thoughts I had were amantadine, because of both nmda and maybe borna disease if that was the case, but more for the nmda, riluzole, but not sure it would do anything as monotherapy, or possibly nefazadone, but not sure I could handle more memory loss than I already have haha. Anyways hope I didn't write too much
