"Garnet, I know how it feels to be resistant to SSRIs, but it's not true that they are only for depression....so I hope you are reading and thinking about your options."
Hi again,
I'm not treatment resistant to SSRIs--they work for anxiety which is my main symptom, but take away my motivation. Effexor caused swollen joints and depression, more like an allergic reaction. They all take away my anxiety; prozac w/in a few days. I can't tolerate the side effects and they do make me depressed.
I don't have OCD. The visuals popping up were not repetitive; they were childhood pictures - ie: a 4th of July sparkler, a mannequin with a wig on that used to be at my Mom's work, wetc. They were very vivid, but nothing repetitive. Just part of my repressed memories emerging, I'm guessing. I do have some OCD symptoms once in a while though.
