O.C.D. and medication question? Has medication helped you with your o.c.d. and intrusive thoughts?

Honestly, no. I've had OCD (along with social anxiety disorder and generalized anxiety disorder) for quite a long time and have tried Lexapro, Zoloft, Prozac, Cymbalta, Seroquel, Abilify, and Neurontin. However, we're all different. Medication works for most people. It is not a cure however: cognitive and theutic methods are very important. As far as the intrusive thoughts go, I used to have them very often and they caused me much distress. I had thoughts about , blasphemous religious thoughts, and thoughts about . I got over them without the help of medication, however. What you have to do is not care if you have the thoughts or not. I know that's a very easy thing to say, but I thought I would never get out of it and I did get out of it. Just don't care if you have the thoughts. Let them p. I don't know how to explain it any better than that. I wish you the best of luck, though. We're all in this together.
