Hi.
Today not so good. Managed the Co-Op with my Dad, but coming back had the usual shit with handwashing. Just goes on and on. Trying to follow my goals ie wash ONCE really well and then LEAVE IT.
I'm on 60mg paroxetine (generic name for SEroxat) /day. If anyone's suffering with OCD, this is the recommended dose - I spent years on less and it is definately better on a higher dose. Went quite quickly up from 30mg/day to 60mg and I felt as if something was happening at last - or maybe it was the idea that someone was trying to help me. I don't know. But seeing as it's getting a bit worse at the moment I'm going to ask the doctor when I see him next about possibility of something else.
Try to take tablets in the morning then drink a bit in the evening to shut the ocd down - sometimes makes it worse but most of the time there is so much shit in my head by night-time the red wine has some dulling effect on the not-too-bad compulsions.
So.

Rosie,
Thank you for visiting my blog. I am really glad to see another OCD blog in the bloggosphere. I don't feel so alone. I totally understand what you are going through with your compulsions and thoughts. Sometimes, I even feel as though I am possessed and something else inside of me is trying to take over.
You will be in my thoughts! Is it OK if I list you under my related blogs?
Thanks!
