Hi all ive just came out of an acute day unit for mental health after a relapse i was there for 3 weeks during the day .I think i was building up with full of what ifs in my life .My mum has beem giving a year to live with a brain tumour.My dad passed away suddenly 5 months ago on top of a lot of other things. and im constantly worrying what my autistic sons future holds i cant take it anymore im currently on 40 mgs of prozac but i feel it isnt helping enough any advice on good meds for anxiety pls i just want enough to take the edge of the anxiety so i can continue with my cbt.many thanks

Thanku all can anyone recomend any other anxiety medication im.currently on fluoxetine 40 mg but the doctor is adding something else today .

Has anyone tried or currently on buspar for anxiety x

Hi all can I ask people what ocd book is the best one to read pls x

Hi all my Doc put me on sertraline a few months ago wasnt the right one for me so im now changing to prozac.but omg the withdrawel from sertraline are horrific never had anything like this with tablets b4.has anyone else had this with sertraline

Hi all sorry if this has been asked before but what ocd book is good to read.many thanks

HI all ive been on setraline about 3 months and on 100 mgs for about a month.not sure if they are helping as my anxiety is a lot worse can this happen x

Thats the problem i havent been able to do the things that will help him because of my ocd relapse i was at emergency A@E last sunday i feel so guilty for not doing some things with him .i feel im not a good parent ?

Hi im.a bit confused whether my intrusive thoughts are ocd .Im having very worrying thoughts of what is really happening in my life now i.e family death.but more thoughts worrying about my autistic son we are fighting for a school place and also he has started to have food issues .im alwsys thinking "what if " is this gad or ocd and what do you suggest i can do to help.x

Hi all havent been on here for a while ive been trying to.cope with my ocd .But unfortunately ive had a bad relapse my Dad passed awsy 6 weeks ago and my mum has just been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour im devastated also got a 5 year old autistic son that has just started having feeding problems.im seeing the mental health team next week.but ive been on setraline about 3 months on which 1 month been upped to 100 mg but dont feel great on them just wondering if anyone has any positive views on them.many thanks sorry for long post x

Thanku so much taurean. Really appreciate your reply .:)

Hi all.hope your all well.Ive been doing so well lately.when the anxious thoughts were coming in i was able to see them.just as thoughts most of the time.then for some reason today i had a lot of streaming thoughts that i just couldnt let go for some reason .feeling very tired and low as they have hit me like a ton of bricks why is it so bloody hard .when youre feelling tired etc it gets a grip of you again feeling drained and then you feel like giving up the fight with ocd .and let it rule your life .?

Thanku for replying polarbear.i no asking for reassurance is one of my compulsion which im gradually dealing with.could eating be another one sometimes when i get the thoughts i just want to eat .its not comfort eating i feel i have to eat to help with my anxiety just wasnt sure if it could be a compulsion .

Hi why is it that an intusive worrying thought comes into your mind so quick most of the time i can go along with the thoughts and refocus but lately they are coming in so quick and automatically i dont get time to to refocus they hit me so hard and quick that they get stuck and escalate into worst case scenario then comes the rest guilt etc.im sooo worn out today with it.it has got the better of me

Hi Ashipinharbor my son is 4 and is autistic its nice to here from.a grown up that autism isnt all bad.all i seem to hear are negative,worrying things as you can image doesnt help my ocd x
