Have you read "Brain Lock" or "Stop Obsessing" ? I found them excellent sources of help for OCD. In fact, I find that my OCD is largely under control with cognitive therapy (delievered lightly and with humor with my usually wonderful therapist). When it flares up, I usually understand that it's an OCD flareup and minimize its importance to myself. But I still do have anxious moments, and that's what the occasional klonopin is for. Will a partial dose of klonopin or xanax before the party help? (Wouldn't want to see you falling face first in the avocado dip). I had a meeting today that I've been seriously dreading for a week, and I took a half klonopin before going. Turns out it was no big deal (most of the things I worry about turn out to be nowhere near as bad as I fear). But it was nice to have the assurance that if it was as bad as I feared, I probably would be able to function with the klonopin on board.
