The last time i was in psych ward was in 2008 and that when i got this new med combo that helped me. But i can tell you it took couple of months before i could say now i feel normal again and can enjoy life, i would say approximently 6 moths before my bdd with ocd symptoms completely disappered. The bdd with ocd symptoms that i was suffering from were, 3 hours looking in the bathroom mirror and not liking what i see, it was almost everyday like this. Even if i went somewhere i looked where the washrooms were and i would go and look it my self in the mirror, when i look at my self and i don't like what i see i start feeling suicidal depprssed all the worst stuff. I used to spent all summer in home. And i just want to say that being in a psych ward 6 times did make me somewhat more confident and to think differently about my self. But what helped me get my bdd with ocd, anxiety and deppression symptom free are these meds that i am on now and will be on them for at least 2 more years before i can try to slowly stop taking them. And they are, i also mentioned them in my other threads: Lithium Carbonate - 300mg morning, 300 mg bedtime Serequel XR - 600mg bedtime Cipralex 20 mg morning Propanalol 40 mg morning (can take more if i need to) And i can tell you when i started taking them for first two weeks i had minor side effect little tired but as i continued taking them they completely dissapered so i can say that now i don't have any side effects and i am taking these medication for 1 and a half year now. And by this thread that i made i am not saying that everyone will benefit from these med combos but i can say that there is help. It just takes long time to find the right med combo. Also friends or family support is one of important steps on your way to recovery. Hope this helps somebody! |

i had similiar success with a combination like yours to treat my OCD, depression and social anxiety. I took Paxil, Clonidine, Seroquel....but i never took Lithium. I am suprised that the combination actually worked for the depression, but it definetly greatly decreased my social anxiety and OCD.
