> he laughed?! was he misguidedly trying to help you by making light of the thoughts or something?
Well, it was stupid because it didn't work and my thoughts were terrifying, not just bothersome.
>anyway, the fact that my pdoc wants to abolish the OCD is a mixed blessing, i.e. he's breaking out the heavy-hitters (anafranil, risperdone) when i'd like a more subtle approach
Maybe.... but if you are not responding to conventional drugs like SSRI/SNRI's and your OCD is crippling then there isn't too much choice.
This is a recent algorithm for OCD treatment. See if anything from that gives you an idea/ possibility.

> hope things turn out okay for you.
Thanks so much.
>i would love to just go back to work - i'm young and had a really promising career a year ago. your comment about Geodon returning you to status quo gave me so much hope
You know, I'm sure you will find something that helps. Geodon was my miracle- you may have your own just waiting to be discovered.
But I know frustrating it can be though..looking and looking :(
Take care
Love
