Hello, there are much better medications available for ocd that shows respose within a month. Also read exposure and response prevention therapy and apply it on yourself with the help of your family member or psychiatrist. You do not need to carry this problem when such promising and quick treatment is available.

Asked for male, 25 years old from Navi Mumbai

Hello everyone. My question is for psychiatrist and psychologist doctors. I have been taking medicines from last 4 years for depression, ocd and anxiety but not fully cured. I have taken so many counselling sessions but not fully cured. Yes medicines and cbt helps but I am not coming out of my illnesses fully. So I have read about transcendental meditation and decided to learn transcendental meditation and do it daily. I want to stop my medicines intake, it is making me fat and just want to enjoy my life like earlier. Doctors can transcendental meditation cure my these illnesses fully?

The transcendental meditation and deciding to learn transcendental meditation and do it daily will help your mind but you may not be able to avoid medications and need to discuss with your treating doctor.

Asked for female, 29 years old from Bangalore

I am taking aripiprazole, fluvoxamine maleate extended and clobazam for ocd for the past 2 days at night prescribed by doctor. After taking it the first day night, from next day morning I started feeling sleepy, tired and also have diarrhoea two times a day and chills. Is this sleepiness and tiredness because of the tablets? And also I slept late at night at 12: 00 on that day when I took the tablets. So does the tablets cause sleepiness and tiredness because I slept late? And it's been 3 days and I am feeling the same sleepiness and tiredness. What should I do?

Gaurav Aggarwal91%(129 ratings)

Psychiatrist•Bareilly

Hello, clobazam is never taken for a long period. Sleepiness is due to clobazam mostly. Try tapering off clobazam. For initial 7 days take half the dose then for next 7 days one fourth of the dose then stop clobazam.

Health Query

I am 23 year old female and I was diagnosed with ocd, generalised anxiety and panic disorder over 7 years ago. I have tried a few different scars over the years, some have really helped and others have not had great side effects so have had to stop. I was recently on lips (fluvoxamine) and have been on 100 mg for 6 weeks. My psychiatrist has decided to take me off of it because it was causing really bad fatigue and gi side effects/rapid weight loss that was interfering with my life. I am now going to try prozac which I think will be good for me. I have read some stories about withdrawing from luvox online and I am very nervous. The plan from my psychiatrist is to drop from 100 mg to 50 mg of luvox for 5 or so days and then stop altogether, then the following day begin prozac at 10 mg for 4 days, then increase to 20 mg and stay on that dose. He said I should not have any issues or any significant issues with withdrawals in this method, as I am going to be replacing the ssri with prozac, but I am still very nervous. Do you think dropping from 100 mg to 50 mg is going to cause me seizures/vomiting or severe withdrawal effects etc? Do you think this way is okay? He said if I am having significant problems I can drop to 25 mg luvox for a few days after 50 mg and then start on the prozac the following day and he was very insistent I would be okay, but I am very worried. Does this change seem okay? I have always cross tapered medicine, never directly switched so I am very scared it's going to cause intolerable withdrawals. Thanks.

Dear lybrate-user,
both fluvoxamine and prozac are ssris. The anxiety and fear of severe withdrawal is a part of your ocd. Please withdraw from 100 to 50 and stop. No need to go for 25 mg - may not be available. No withdrawal will happen, since it is at a lowest dose. Usually fluoxamine will be withdrawn from 300 - 400 mg/day. Please add therapy also for your treatment so that with erp (exposure and response prevention) your fear comes down - not only for withdrawal but also for other obsess...more

Asked for female, 17 years old from Hyderabad

Hi Lybrate, previously in my life I have experienced very much anxiety due to religious ocd. But now it is gone. But one problem is that my resting heart rate is between 95 to 100. My heart rate when I get up early in the morning is between 85 to 90. And my spo2 is 98%. My pr is 90. And a year back my ecg is normal. Can you please tell me what is the problem. Is this tachycardia, if so is it dangerous.

Dr. Hiren Kamalia88%(124 ratings)

Homeopathy Doctor•Kurnool

Unless the heart rate crosses 100, it is not tachycardia and so you don't need to worry. You are suffering from an anxiety disorder, which is causing your heart to beat more. So your heart rate is towards the higher side. Homeopathy can offer you great help for your anxiety disorder.
