This is quite a disabling feature of my OCD - regardless of my baseline mood, attention, environment etc., I am constantly plagued by the distressing sense that something is wrong, i.e. that I'm guilty of something, catastrophe is imminent, etc.
I'm aware that, being an OCD-symptom, behavioural therapy would most likely be my best bet, at least as far as divulging coping mechanisms, but has anyone found a med that's ever quelled that feeling. It's like a perpetual brain itch that I can never scratch.

I think I recall phiddipus stating that he found oxycontin helpful for that particular complaint, but chances of getting it off-label here at less-than-zero.

Unfortunately, clomipramine induced a kind of dysphoric mania which wasn't very pleasant, so I'm hesitating returning to it.
Currently, I'm considering revisiting Nardil, perhaps at a lower dose (60mg) to avoid the dealbreaking side-effects I incurred last time. Do you think it might have any application here, with or without a benzo?

Since I have the diagnosis of OCD and I do have the same feelings as you I did find that luvox years ago at 250mg and ativan I think 4-6mg aday eliminated this. Today at the lower dose it is still much less. I find getting out and involved helps this feature now which is nothing like it was. I do think luvox eliminated many of the symptoms such as counting and doing things a certain amount of times so nothing bad would happen. Phillipa
