How long are you taking the maintenance dose?
How long back was your last relapse? How long have you been symptom free?
Many factors are to be considered if you are thinking of stopping medications. Besides you need to know what triggers these episodes in you. As u mentioned the first episode being at the time of your grandmothers death. It was a stressful event. Similarly if there occur any such stressors in future then you may have a relapse again if you cannot cope with that stress. ...more

Hi lybrate-user,
while going through this verbatim, it appears that your condition of ocd and depression is not yet remitted completely and that is probably due to undertreatment. The treatment you are getting still need to be optimized and dose of fluvoxamine should be increased to 300 mg per day. Clonazepam need to be tapered off and stopped gradually. If needed a medicine from tca class can be added as an augmentation strategy or as an add on.

1.use deep breathing
deep breathing is another effective way to relieve stress and anxiety. It helps you with physical symptoms such as shallow breathing and rapid heart rate, and it also helps with controlling your thoughts. When you practice deep breathing, you're forced to take your thoughts off of whatever is causing you anxiety and to focus on the breathing technique that you are using.
2.keep a journal
journaling can be an effective way to deal with your anxiety and to find rel...more

Doubt and reassurances is such a debilitating that this is my 500th query on my illness on Lybrate .i am 50% improved by clomipramine as far as my ocd is concerned but as I have predominant obsession so it is very hard to get 100% result .but the worst part is that I am very unproductive, I don't bath, I do not brush for months .some well known psychiatrist says it is depression ,some says it is negative schizophrenia .i do not know who is right and doubt is still there so today I am again asking this question .my mother is schizophrenic but I don't have any classic delusion and hallucinations .i want to bath but I don't know why I can't, I just think rather execute the task .i have tried escitalopram ,fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, sertraline, desvenlafaxine with max dose for max time & I have also tried lowest dose of rpn, oleanz, qutipin, aripiprazole, amisulpride. Clomipramine is the only drug which is helping me 50% for my ocd .but what about the productivity? What is next step? please guide me!

Dear Lybrate user
if there are no hallucinations and delusions then it won't be considered as schizophrenia. As I have told you in other question your issues requires psychotherapy coupled with clinical hypnotherapy and nlp. This will for sure give you significant results in less time. I have had such clients where the diagnosis was not proper and patients were having mixed symptoms plus anxiety. Consult a good psychotherapist cum clinical hypnotherapist or contact me for the same. Good luck...more

Dear lybrate-user,
congratulations for continuing your interest in making your life better. Ect is an option - not tried so far. But it is not a one time treatment. It has to be given under anesthesia, may be 6-12 times. Only few psychiatrists will have ect facility. Ketamine and rtms - very very few psychiatrist will have it. Ketamine will work if you are acutely suicidal. The effect lasts for lesser time than ect. Rtms may be given as outpatient since it does not need anesthesia. But the n...more

Hello, Dr. I had been masturbating obsessively, for the last for more than 30 years since my teenage time. I continue doing so even after marriage. I never had the erection problem, and I have two sons. But, during my school days, I used to lose my memory and developed shaky hands while writing. I could not write in a legible and stable manner. Hand used to shake, I used to look lazy, lethargic and fidgetty. But somehow I have managed due to good diet basically non-veg diet. Unfortunately, I suppose the side effects of my masturbation has affected my siblings, who have less concentration in studies and look weak, spite of good diet. One of my siblings developed shaky right hand and started losing focus and concentration and left the answer papers blank in examinations, after 10th Std. Now he has been diagnosed with psychosis (ONS) and is on Aripiprazole 30 mg. His hand shake still continues, along with other side effects of medicine. He started showing aggression and violence. Now, he stopped aggression, but the medicine does not help him in his personal life, like studies, concentration, focus, memory, etc. Still keeps wandering in the house, aimlessly, unable to sit or stand still, etc. What is the remedy Sir?
