I was previously diagnosed as Social Anxiety and OCD.
I wonder if the following symptoms are from OCD (without C) or anxiety:
1. I'm a university student, and sometimes this happens when I have an exam in the morning. I half-wake up in the morning (by half-wake up, I mean that I'm consciously awake but my body is still in bed because I force myself to sleep more), and all these worries strike my brain. It's not really like one specific worry in the head, but I hear the voice of my own talking as if telling a story to other people.
I still do that talking to myself as if talking to other people when I'm still awake, especially when I'm stressed.
2. I have hard time breathing. I sometimes cannot catch breath when I talk, even when saying a simple word. I feel like I try to listen to what I say.
I'm taking Klonopin 0.5mg/day, and planning to take it for long-term. Is there anyone who takes Klonopin for OCD (without C)? After calming down a little bit with this drug, I'll go to find another psychitrist. Currently, there is no psychitrist that I go to see regularly.I'm socially impaired, and lack a lot of confidence.
I have been on Paxil and Celexa with no success.
