How to get rid of OCD thoughts without SSRI?
Question:
Answers:
I would use l-tryptophan above any SSRI. Instead of coercing the brain to keep serotonin working in the synaptic gap longer, l-tryptophan gives the brain the building blocks to produce serotonin in the amounts it chooses. The first approach is violent, and not sustainable. The second works with Nature, and can provide long term benefits. Just don't every mix the two: that can cause serotonin syndrome, which is very dangerous. You have the choice: drugs or nature.
Other Answers:
try to relax---tell yourself to breathe and calm down, maybe you can find a few minutes where your mind is calm too and you forget about things for a while. try running or exercising
First you can never get rid of OCD with SSRI. SSRI just numb your symptoms, they are a band aid. There are several techniques and therapies or natural products that help with OCD. Inositol has been proven in some studies to be effective. Also distraction in a global scale (job /apartment change, etc.) helps. Stay positive and regard your OCD as a gift for you to learn and grow. Maybe do a search in Yahoo on "natural ocd cure".
