Anyone tried this for treating their OCD?
ONLY POSITIVE please. Even if you have a negative. Please tell me in a good way. I want to hear it. I have no compulsions. Just bad thoughts
I'm on 150 mg on Venaflaxine. Does it help? How long did it take?
HI Kaleigh, I'm just curious, did your bad thoughts start before ever being on medication of any kind?
Yes they did.

While you are trying to figure out your med situation, there's lots you can do to retrain your brain away from bad thoughts, negativity, dysfunctional thinking in general. This type of work should be done in addition to meds (meds are not a fix but a band-aid) but is just as useful without meds, too.
I've been on ven for 12 years, trying to get off now (slowly) and still found that my negativity bled through. Only now have I been doing work that has actually made a real difference, and I am on the lowest amount of ven that I've ever been on, sub-therapeutic dosage.
