Hello.. for years I have had a type of OCD where I am constantly focusing and obsessing on a bodily function, I've learnt recently that it's called 'sensorimotor OCD'.. It's really distressing and as it's a less common form of OCD this makes me feel even more isolated with it. I am currently 7 weeks into taking 50mg Sertraline and haven't yet seen any real improvements. I just wanted to see if anyone else on here had experienced a similar condition and if they'd had any success with overcoming it. Thank you.
I have the same and no still no change.. I obsess with any little spot or cut or sore anything. I go to a hypnotherapist who is working with me to help overcome it.
Hello I have ocd and I know how bad it is I m here to help and anything you want to ask me feel free
Hi Ana,
Thanks for replying, I really appreciate it, Any type of OCD is debilitating and It's helpful to have some support from others who know what It's like.. Can I ask you if you take any medication?, I am in 50mg Sertraline, I will probably up the dose soon as I haven't seen much improvements.
Hi Carl,
Thanks for replying I really appreciate it. Any form of OCD is debilitating and It's good to have support of others who know what It's like. I tried CBT which I struggled with as my anxiety is so high, I am taking 50mg Sertraline at the moment and will probably up the dose soon, Do you take anything?.
Yes you are right I don’t take medication I choose no to I m on therapy exposure and response prevention it really really helped me to overcome 90% of my ocd
I take 75mg of venlafaxine and lorazepam when needed but every morning 1mg
I was on 150mg of venlafaxine but am I trying to get off I really don’t think they are rite for me
That's really good that ERP is helping You, I have had that therapy and understand how it can be beneficial, It has help me to some extent too
