OCD + ADD Ame Sans Vie, others....

Posted by temoigneur on April 28, 2004, at 21:13:56

Hey, I have quite severe OCD, some ADD and anxiety (GAD, SAD, Panic attacks...) Anyway recently I switched pdocs and have been put on effexor 225mg, zyprexa 10mg clonazepam 5mg, along with remeron to sleep. I seem to be moving in the right direction, and my anxiety is coming under control, however, I desperately want to get off antipsychotics, if at all possible, as it takes away my personality and creativity.

I'm getting side tracked, I was wondering if anyone had any experience combining a stimulant for ADD with OCD medications. When I frist tried Ritalin, I could focus brilliantly, I was able to finish my piano degree on it, but I had terrible mood swings, so bad that I would give back my degree all these years later, to not have to have gone through that. Is there any mood stabilizer that could potentially be taken with my cocktail and a stimulant to prevent the mood swings. I've tried dexedrine also and it aggravates my OCD. I've never tried adderal, as it's not available in Canada, but my doctor would likely be able to access it. Any suggestions If I could get the ADD under control and not aggravate the anxiety, life would be beautiful.

Thank you:)
