Hi I have been diagnosed with Schizophrenia and OCD. I have severe intrusive thoughts.
I take Paliperidone and Sertaline for my condition. In the night I take 50 mg Clozapine.
Now I’m reading that Clozapine can increase OCD. Firstly is this correct?
Also, any new meds or supplements for intrusive thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Hows your digestion?
Have you tried to ditch starch and wheat for a while?
Powdered barley porridge can help with digestive issues
Mate how is this related?
The poster was talking about clozapine and OCD.
Nothing to do with bogus nutritional information.
Anyway you should be posting in the family forums since you don’t even have sz as I recall.
OP sorry I don’t know much about meds and OCD so I can’t offer anything.
No supplement was mentioned.
Most Psychiatric issues starts in the gut
Yeah if my probiotic balance was better I wouldn’t have schizophrenia.
Give me a break.
Mods, shouldn’t this person only be posting in the family forum?
Does blocking me cure you?
Hi @ahmeds
I’d like to direct you over to our Family forum, found at:
While this forum is for people with schizophrenia and other closely related psychotic disorders, the Family forum is specifically for people like yourself, who have a loved one they are concerned about.
Please let your loved one know about this forum as they may find it helpful.
Also, I would like you to refrain from giving medical advice to our members. There is no substancial evidence for a lot of the claims you make and it’s starting to worry us.

Does blocking you cure me?
No, but what I have can be treated by medication.
Unfortunately it’s not that easy for your issues.
I agree about propranolol.
What are your current schizophrenia symptoms
Was this a recent diagnosis
Thanks guys… yes current symptoms are OCD I keep on thinking about a certain few things. Then I have intrusive thoughts which may be sexual in nature. My pyschosis is controlled now.
I’ve had this diagnosis about 12 years now. So, any medicines or supplements? Does sacrosine work?
Thanks!
Is it similar to songs running over constantly in your mind?
The brain naturally does this.
Hi yes I am fixated about a few events of 16 years ago. Yes my brain keeps thinking about the same nonstop coupled with intrusive thoughts sexual
I use Haldol for intrusive thoughts.None antidepresant,aside from Wellbutrin helped.I have intrusive thoughts for twenty years.It just comes and goes.When I’m working it calms them down.
This claim is complete nonsense. Please stop posting bogus claims. Also, we have asked you repeatedly to post on the Family Forum.

In addition to taking meds, are you also in therapy? I’m wondering if therapy might help you better cope with the intrusive thoughts.
Cognitive therapy goes a very long way in helping
I found the majority of my intrusive thoughts were a nervous release
resulting from trying to suppress thoughts; like trying to hold a
beach ball under water - my mind rebelled by forcing back up
all those things I was afraid of thinking.
Not all dirty or sinister thoughts are your fault; They’re junk thoughts and the brain has to take a crap every now
and then. Most people have them - I think people in our condition are just more concerned
with how our mind is operating so we take notice of those thoughts as the brain is attempting to flush them
Check out 'Ironic Process Theory’
You may have b12 deficiency. Try Methycobalamin type b12 add folate 400 mg.
Sarcosine 2 grams per day

Vitamin D3
Good Luck!
I have severe intrusive thoughts too, those are my only positive symptoms.
Intrusive thoughts are more an ocd symptom…
