Football is like my passion my profession and my oxygen but now I can't play football at professional level or at better level football for the side effects of the medicines.now I have facing side effects now at all.

Now I m in deep depression for my football career as I can't play better level football for the side effects..

This depression comes not from ocd but from game which I can't play due to side effects of the ocd medicines.

Hello, Have you tried contacting your doctor to see if they can put you on a different medication with hopefully less side effects?

[RLSSCARER]

Sometimes the cause of illness you mentioned are caused by infections of different kinds, urine track infections can send women crazy, toe nail fungi can cause manipulation and treatment emergent mental health problems and encephalitis can turn encephalopathy, treatment for different infections require different approaches and treatments. Yeast, protazona, gut parasites, bacteriam, mold toxicity levels, medication can all contribute to end of life encephalopathy

Contact your provider to change your medication. There are other medications that can be helpful for you without any side effects

[Downinil]

Have you asked about other treatment modalities like Trans cranial magnetic stimulation? I have struggled severely with symptoms related to OCD so I can tell you I empathize with anyone experiencing this. There are other treatments.

[Weeping_Willow in reply to Downinil]

I think this is drastic at this point. I really think the OP just needs to try different meds to see which one works best with minimal side-effects.

[Weeping_Willow]

Definitely speak to your doctor. There are many different meds that help with OCD and it is usually trial and error to see which one is the best, both in terms of effectiveness for you and also less side-effects. I was on Paxil first and it did not help but Prozac did with few side-effects. I was then put on another med later by a new doctor, despite me letting them know that Prozac worked, and this new med was terrible, giving me terrible drowsiness AND really bad coordination where I couldn't even type.

So I am sure that with some trial and error you will find something that works with barely any side-effects if at all.

I wish you well in your future football career!

[Ctillou in reply to Weeping_Willow]

I agree..I tried about7 to 8 different variations to find what worked. Please don't lose hope be your own advocate and don't be afraid to ask for something different. I've struggled with this for decades and fairly recently I finally gotten the help that I didn't really know existed so many years ago. It's not perfect but boy I'm able to function at such a higher level. Continue to look at various medications it might be something that you need to take a anti-anxiety, with another medication that will help even further with the OCD. Best of luck praying for you

I'm very happy that this surgery worked for you but, in my opinion, this would be a last resort. From what I know, these types of surgeries are new and are usually used in cases of treatment resistant OCD. I've been on bad meds in the past and can sympathize with the original poster. It is probably worth them trying some different medicines first before considering surgery.

[Natureloverpeace]

The medication that is used for OCD is often insufficient by itself to treat OCD. It is usually used in combination with ERP which is a type of CBT. It’s important that the medication prescriber be familiar with prescribing medication for OCD.

[Natureloverpeace]

This procedure is a last resort treatment for OCD. It isn’t done in the United States unless a person is truly OCD treatment -resistant. The person would have had to try specific treatments first, and had them done to specific standards, before even being considered for this treatment. Sometimes people are mistakenly given the label OCD treatment-resistant when treatments have failed but the failure was due to not being treated by an OCD Specialist which resulted in poor quality ERP, treatment at an inappropriate level for the person’s severity level, meds prescribed by a provider not familiar with prescribing meds for OCD, their dosages, being on them long enough, add-ons to them, and other reasons. There are actual cases of treatment-resistant OCD though and there are some options to treat it. The procedure you mention is one of those options.

Hello Riyandas,

Is the medication you are taking cloromipramine (that’s the generic name)? That drug is sold under the brand names Clomipraminum, Placil, Anafranil, Hydiphen, Klomin, and maybe others.

If you are taking clomipramine I can tell you the following from my experience taking it:

I think clomipramine may be the best drug of all for treating OCD

But, I took it for months and I experienced permanent constipation the entire time

I think I experienced some drowsiness from it

I eventually gave it up because the constipation was severe and continuous

There are alternatives:

The generic drug sertraline (brand names Zoloft in the US) treats OCD and causes fewer, much milder side effects than clomipramine. The side effects go away over time. I also recall I experienced a slight dizziness when I started but it went away in a few days.

The generic drug fluvoxamine (brand names Zoloft Luvox in the US) also treats OCD and causes fewer, much milder side effects than clomipramine. The side effects go away over time.

And there are others.

I’m curious to know what drug you are taking.

Best regards

I am taking sizodon 1 mg( risperidone),flunil 40 mg,admenta 10 mg...

[Weeping_Willow in reply to helloworld22]

I went on Anafranil and that was the one that gave me terrible drowziness (I would have to stop and nap on my way to work) and terrible coordination. Did nothing for my OCD. What works for one may not work for another so I don't believe there is one 'best' drug for OCD and I certainly wouldn't suggest tolerating such terrible side-effects unless they subsided very quickly (within a week or two).

Have you considered Hypnosis ?

Type in : British Society of Clinical Hypnosis .

One can use the Dropdown to select your Country . Then town .

These are Registered Hypnotherapy Professionals .

They all have to sign and adhere to the Code of Conduct .

I’ve just scrolled down and see Case Studies , whereupon there is a Case History of a woman named “ Jane “ ~ not her real name , whom was diagnosed with OCD.

✨✨✨✨✨✨

[Natureloverpeace in reply to weymouth321]

Hypnosis isn’t effective for OCD and is not an evidence-based treatment for it.

[helloworld22]

Those are sizodon 1 mg (risperidone), flunil 40 mg (generic name fluoxetine, US brand name Prozac), admenta 10 mg (memantine, Namenda).

The drugs which typically help OCD are the SSRI’s (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). Your flunil is an SSRI, like setraline (US brand Zoloft) and fluvoxamine (US brand Zoloft), and in my experience the SSRI’s tend to have mild side effects. They have never given me constipation.

I read a little about risperidone and constipation is one of its side effects. Are you taking that to help you sleep? If so, I took quetiapine (US brand Seroquel), a similar drug, to help me sleep, and it did not give me any constipation.
