Cog-Behavior Therapy: Exposure with response prevention is an empircally validated treatment for ocd: in other words, it works. It is a type of treatment provided by a cognitive behavior therapist or behavior therapist. The association of behavioral and cognitive therapies (abct) www.Abct.Org should be a helpful resource, as they list treatment providers & provide info. Meds may also help so you can see a psychiatrist.

Chemical way.: Anti epileptics work at molecular level by controlling ionic channel gate in cell membrane like na, k, ca, nmda. Etc thereby altering excitability of cell membrane. It is a very advanced detailed science.

In some cases the mechanism of action (MOA) is clear; in others, several mechanisms may operate at once; in still others the MOA is conjectural or even unknown.

Is using natural galanthamine for dream control or lucid dreaming dangerous?

Dr. R Sangalanswered
Sleep Medicine 43 years experience
I would not: Galantamine (galantamine (galantamine hydrobromide) hydrobromide) increases cholinergic activity in the brain, which can cause more dreams. Like any medicine, galantamine (galantamine hydrobromide) can have side effects. I would not recommend taking it to cause more vivid dreams.

Can the things you eat help control seizures at all?

Dr. Albert Pizzoanswered

Seizures and diet: Yes it is possible to change some seizures with diet.
For many years some patients have been treated with what is called a keto=genic diet, which has controlled their seizures. Talk to your doctor to see if you are a candidate for this diet and if so ask for a referral.
