In reply to off one med....SI ocd/urge? * *trigger**, posted by B2chica on March 12, 2005, at 11:59:35
Like the others said, it sounds like there is something underlying what happened. Well done for getting through it [relatively] unharmed - you have strong will power.
I don't know whether it is meds or something else - maybe something that was already inside but that the meds were helping to suppress. Definately something for your pdoc to know about. Why is it that you are coming off the med? Weight gain? Some meds have worse weight gain at a lower dose, so it might be worth going on the higher dose straight away if that worked before. I've had severe weight gain on remeron, and despite it's great effects on my depression, I really didn't want to stay on it, so I can understand your dillema.
I've had similar, seemingly inexplicable SI urges that are more severe than what I normally do. I have no idea why those particular things come in to my mind - I've never really thought about it, but maybe it is worth thinking about. Hmmm...
