> Hello, I was wondering if anybody has had any kind of credible success with meds for Obsessional Thoughts. I suffer constant debilitating thoughts that repeat over and over and over again and they all are self sabotaging thoughts that I create but cannot defeat through reasoning. I don't know if anybody can relate to what I'm describing but it has totally been the core problem of all my problems. Don't know what got the ball rolling first....... Did the depression cause the thoughts or did the thoughts cause the depression, anxiety, paranoia......amongst many other things. Am I just predisposed to this Obsessional way of thinking? Did I develop this way of thinking myself and actually create my own living hell? These are just a few of the questions that would be the million dollar answer but I guess I'll never know. The bottom line is that I need a way to regain control of my mind and not live "inside my mind" to the point that I neglect what's going on in front of me in the real world. I used to take Effexor XR and Depakote and it seemed to do the trick a little bit. I still had the thoughts but I was controlling them more. Suddenly the meds seemed to poop out or I just lost control of my thoughts again. Somebody please give me some advice on this because I so dearly need it to get on with my life and find some kind of enjoyment in this precious world.

Hey there...

My son has obsessional OCD. He's been treated successfully with zoloft and buspar, plus some specialized counseling that we found for him. The meds help both with the OCD and depression.
