is there any solution for ocd like meds or treatment honestly
Sorry to hear you are struggling with OCD. Many with schizophrenia do, or so I’ve read. I used to have OCD-ish traits, but they are much better recently, I don’t know why.
In the past an SSRI helped, but had bad side effects and withdrawals. Saffron (don’t combine with an SSRI) als helped. Saffron: fresh, good quality, 20 threads in hot water to make tea, drink the tea and the threads. I could notice the difference by high quality saffron, but not the stuff from the supermarket. Saffron too has SSRI-like side effects, but milder, and is addictive in the same way as SSRI’s, I have heard. So watch out.
Right now, OCD-ish traits nearly disappeared. What has changed is I have got more to do throughout the day (job, volunteering) and also I have a better diet. But I’ve always had ups and downs, so that might just be coincidence.
Wish to also try therapy, but no experience with that.
There are meds for ocd.

Risperidone is making my OCD symptoms worse.
Therapy can help. My son and I have some OCD behavior and therapy is helping.
Antidepressants which treat OCD like Anafranil(Clomipramine)
I do biofeedback to manage my OCD. It has kept me in control of my life for the past 13 years. It’s expensive, but most providers will let you pay on a sliding scale.
SSRIs are the standard medical treatment for OCD. I would take them, except that I had bad reactions to them in the past.
Are you talking about the spice? Or do you mean Sapphris?
