Im on lexapro and it helps a bit, what else could help? A mood stabilizer?

let me know when you find out. cymbalta didnt cut it and Im on max dose of prozac at moment and still could be better. What your talking about seems like its wrapped up in anxiety/depression and honestly I’d rather deal with voices than that stuff.

Buspirone can help. I use it for repetitive thoughts.

Give L-theanine a try. That was a problem for me on 10mg Abilify and L-theanine helped. You need a high dose of it though.

It seems to be less of a problem for me on 15mg Abilify.

Just a suggestion…

I also tried cymbalta, it helped a lot, but couldnt bear the side effects and the stimulation it gave me…

I will ask for it maybe on my next appointment, my repetetive thoughts can go for days or weeks

This is only my experience but if anything you should try an anxiety med. for me anxiety and paranoia go hand in hand. I hope you find the right med for this.

If your looking for stuff for ocd then maybe NAC. I would say therapy (CBT) would be your best bet

It doesn’t help with all of them, just some thoughts.
