Also, as we discussed previously, seriouskly think about the following combo:
Which ever SSRI has given you the best results (I think it was Zoloft in your case, but pick which ever one has given you the most benifit) and combine it with bupropion (Wellbutrin XL) 300mg per day
This combo will help you avoid the "flattening" that SSRI's sometimes bring, allowing you to push the dose high enough to get as much response as you can for your OCD and anxiety, say 200mg/day of Zoloft, the bupropion will also help motivation, drive and your ADD
Bupropin is very expensive in Australia, but it can be obtained for about $40 per month from a reputable source in the US - PM me for the details.
Also, accept that some of what the doctor said might just be right, that there is stuff that you need psychotherapy for, that th truly get well you need a combo of the right meds and the right therapy.
so
- Diazepam for the anxiety
-A high dose of SSRI for the OCD, anxiety and depression
- Bupropion for motivation and drive.
Please think about it seriously mate
