Is their anything out there besides alcohol that can numb the brain, my research has found me Fish Oil to be a help anyone used that? Other than alcohol which I dont need Zoloft or Prozac just seem to take the edge off, but alcohol almost stops the ocd completly, anyone else, what did you do?

I am not sure. I was going to suggest prozac. Does fish oil work?

I'd like to hear more about the fish oil thing, too...do you add it to liquid? to food? Rub it on your head? (I'm making a joke with that last one- hee hee)....I really do want to hear how it's worked for you...

Six beers and im a happy camper man.If you can control it,its good medicine!

There's a difference between numbing and controlling symptoms. I don't think alcohol's the answer. Nevertheless, the best control I've found has been rigorous exercise. It has to be a real effort, though.

I used to take Wellbutrin, then Prozac. I have a thing with injesting pills, or contaminated air into my body (part of the OCD). I have also found the omega's are extremely good for the brain chemistry. I take them now, along with other supplements instead of the synthetic meds. I also do my best to ERP out of my 'tight spots' tho. Some days are tougher then others. Today was one of those days..... while at my neices 4th birthday, all I could think of was organizing my purse - pisses me off. Finally I put it under the table and said NO, I am not doing this. After a few minutes, the urge started to disipate.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
