Herbal remedies work for me. My doctor is helping me find a suitable pill for me.

If you where to have a problem with meds, then you would speak to your GP.

Hope this helps.

Sometimes I feel like medication has helped but I don't know. I'm on an anti-psyc as well for my OCD and feel as though it's helping and it's likely better than before the meds but it's hard to tell sometimes. I feel it's important for me to stay busy especially but the stress causes problems with my OCD as well.

Hi! I have anxiety and depression too. Meds have changed my life. I took Paxil for years, then recently switched to lexapro. I still have bouts of anxiety/ocd/depression but it’s manageable with ocd therapy and meds. Talk to your therapist and doctor!! Do you have a reputable ocd therapist? If not, you can go to IOCDF’s website and they will help you💖🙏
