I do.

No amount of meds helped my OCD symptoms.

I had to do CBT in therapy to get a grip on those.

Still struggle from time to time,

But it’s a lot easier and my quality of life is much better.

You can get books on CBT that would probably really help.

I have OCD and schizoeffective disorder. I take Fluvoxamine ( luvox ) and lurasidone which is latuda, also Risperdal and buproprion. My OCD is terrible compared to the schizoeffective disorder. OCD really sucks.

The only manifestation of my ocd that has ever been specifically treated is excoriation disorder with only partial resolution. No, I have never been hospitalized specifically for ocd. I have been hospitalized, idk, maybe 10 times. I’m a rather patient and easy going oc, I just drive others crazy.

How do you manage symptoms without drugs?

For OCD, none
I can’t take antidepressants

I had pretty bad “pure-O” during my prodromal stage.

It’s still there to some degree, but at the time it was at its worst, it was truly debilitating.

I was prescribed citalopram, which did fuuck all for it :sweat_smile:.

Use more psychological approaches as opposed to pharmaceutical :pray:t5:

I am diagnosed with sza and ocd. I have tried many meds and seroquel helped the most. Though i am currently not on anything
