At least I’ve been told it’s ocd by several therapists… I don’t even want to share my obsessions, it’s too embarrassing, it’s making me go off the deep end lately and I don’t even feel like I can tell anyone about it anymore.

That’s too bad. I have ocd too. It’s soooo hard to deal with. You should at least share your fears with a therapist.

I understand what you’re saying. I have the intrusive thoughts that accompany ocd. It’s a doozy along with my voices I experience. Sorry this is happening to you.

Certain supplements can relieve OCD, like NAC and Inositol.

I’m sorry. My obsessive thoughts can get really disruptive to my life when they are bad. The typical treatment of antidepressants never worked for me, but Gabapentin helps a lot.

@Ninjastar What dose of gabapentin are you taking? I am taking a fairly low dose for anxiety, which seems to help in conrjuntion with an antidepressant and a beta blocker. Now that I think about it, my OCD symptoms also seem less.

100 mg once a day was my dose for anxiety. It was raised to 300 mg 3/day to treat nerve pain, but the 100 once a day was enough for the OCD

I struggled with some OCD thoughts, reducing caffeine helped.

I take 100 mg twice a day (morning and evening). That seems to help with anxiety and OCD.

Do you still smoke weed? If so quitting that will help your ocd

Gabapentin is so strange, with all the things it is effective for. Seizures, pain, anxiety, restless leg syndrome, hot flashes, seriously a ton of stuff. It makes me want to get back to my master’s program, so I can learn more about how nerves work. It seems to regulate electrical impulses in the nerves, but I barely understand the whole thing.

Would it help with sensory issues too?
I haven’t noticed any benefit there. Geodon helped that a lot. I started geodon when I was around 24, and I was on it for nearly a decade. I thought I had outgrown my sensory issues until I was taken off of it. Now, I feel things as sharply as I did before. My tolerance for experiencing them has improved with age and therapy, but the actual discomfort is still the same.
