I have started ocd medicines consulting with doctor.now I'm fine no ocd in myself ,but

But but but

The side effects of the medicines like constipation, dizziness and drowsiness begins in me at a high level.

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.

What can I do please some one tell me πŸ₯Ί pleaseπŸ™πŸ™πŸ™..

I want to play football like earlier...it is my dream it is my oxygen to live.

But the side effects of the medicines keeping me away from my love my oxygen football..

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

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

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.

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.

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! :)

Hi Riyandas

My name is David Gonzalez, I'm from El Salvador, Central America.

10 years ago I developed Generalized Anxiety Disorder, after 8 years of suffering my anxiety transformed into OCD. At that moment of my life I decided to end this suffering, so I reached out to MD and Neurosurgeon Eduardo Lovo (doctorlovo.com/experiencia/) , I looked up him for several reasons which are going to list:

1. He saved my uncle from two tumors in brain.

2. He studied in top Universities at USA, such as John Hopkins and MD Cancer Center.

Doctor Lovo explained to me that in El Salvador they have Radiosurgery procedure with Gamma Knife in order two target the neural circuits that are affected by OCD, depression and anxiety disorder, and he told this procedure has no side effects and this will help me to improve my life, so I decided to do the surgery.

After two years of the surgery I can tell this surgery has rewired my brain!!!! , basically all my obsessive thoughts went away and also my anxiety levels.

I'm very grateful and bless that I found Dr. Lovo and also my prayers helped me in order to recover from this situation very hard to deal with.

If anyone else there is struggling with OCD please know there exist medical treatment such as Gamma Knife to help you ( iocdf.org/about-ocd/treatme... )

I will continue publishing from time to time how I feel , if you want to reach out to me feel free to do it at: vsalazar.local@gmail.com

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.

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.

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.
