- Hey guys!I found some really interesting stuff on the internet regarding the anatomy of the brain and OCD. Deep within the brain, there is a small portion of the basal ganglia (associated with learning, memory, and emotional responses) called the...
- Hey everyone, I've been taking 100mg Luvox CR for about three weeks now, and so far it has been a godsend. Depression, anxiety, and OCD are all taken care of. There is one catch however, it seems like there always is... : /I feel tired, tired enough...

- Hello!I have been taking Prozac for OCD for a little over three months now. I currently take 40mg daily, but have taken as high as 60mg. At 60mg, I found that my OCD was almost completely gone, which was somewhat of a miracle, but of course, it was...
- Hey guys!I just wanted to tell you about a simple technique of thinking that allows your brain to stop focusing on intrusive thoughts. I call it sensory thinking. It's sensory because you practice it by thinking about what you see, hear, smell, feel...
- Hello!I was diagnosed with OCD about two months ago, and I am starting to feel the results of treatment. I am curious about one thing though. I know that people who have Aspergers Disorder can also have OCD, as they are somewhat similar in nature,...
- Hello,Lately when I have my usual intrusive thoughts, it causes a feeling of extreme restlessness in my knees, and I have to bend them or jerk my legs to make the feeling go away. This is really annoying! I even have this feeling when I walk, so...
- Hello,Sometimes I worry that I might not even have OCD, and that the intrusive thoughts I get are my real feelings. Sometimes it really does feel that way, and I'm right on the threshold of doing something horrible. This is extremely difficult for...
