A member asked:

I was on ciprelax for 3 yrs. i stoped it 2 mnths ago to try inositol , but my ocd attacked bady i resume taking it 13 days but feeling vey anxious ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This is workable: Ssri medications can sometimes cause anxiety in the beginning. When one has anxiety and ocd there is region of the brain that is over active. Mindfulness meditation is very helpful. See kelly mcgonigal's the will power instinct. Inositol can be useful for ocd but one needs a very high dose ( up to 16 gm a day). Check 25-oh vit d3, it might be low. A healthy life style helps, too.
