I don't either. I don't know enough about OCD and/or its differences compared to rumination. I do act compulsively by calling my loved ones a lot/excessively and running home constantly to check on my dog. I also have horrible/violent thoughts about loved ones NOT because I want them to happen but because I fear them. I'll follow up more w/ my pdoc during our next visit in a few weeks.

On the bright side, in the short time I've added Desipramine to my Lexapro (and other 2 meds), I've already noticed an improvement in my mood and some quieting of my mind. I don't know if it can happen that quickly, but I'm surprised. I am tired and nauseous, but I'll ride out the SEs for now with the hopes that they'll subside and the med will continue to work.
