I don't know how to help you really, but I DO THE SAME THING!! I have had OCD since I was about 11, and I used to do the swallowing thing pretty frequently, then, quite suddenly it stopped. It hasn't come back, thankfully. Sometimes with compulsions it helps to remind yourself: "This is my OCD, I don't have to do this, nothing bad will happen if I choose not to do this." It helps me sometimes, but other times the anxiety is too overwhelming. Have you tried Clomipramine? It helped me a little, but couldn't stand the side effects. Now I'm on Paxil, which seems to be improving my condition mildly...but thats better than nothing. Keep me updated on your condition. Bless you! Elle
