>The SSRI would possibly take care of the OCD, and the AP would treat the racing thoughts.
I actually had succes with treating racing thought, agitation, and OCD the first time I ever took medication when I started Prozac. It took 3 weeks but, man, all agitation, anxiety, OCD, depression, and racing thoughts were obliterated. I woke up, took Prozac, and within the hour I was a different person, someone I loved and felt comfortable with. I also had success with Zoloft alone for years and the only reason why I stopped was because I simply thought it was time, I was dead wrong. Things are different now and I unfortunately require other medications like lithium for some relief and management. I may even revisit a small dose of Zyprexa soon.
I'm not saying that an SSRI alone will eventually get you back on track and feeling great like it did for me, but I do believe it is a possibility.
Are you sleeping o.k. right now?
> I'm thinking maybe I can ween off of the meds I'm on now to take on a new regiment while taking klonopin to keep me stablized which I'm transitioning. Ideas?
What meds are you currently taking? This would help us give you some ideas.
Are you opposed to trying the natural or supplement remedies I suggested? I really think they could help. I also think you may be able to avoid getting hooked on Klonopin if you use some of those supplements.
