Hi.
I have been getting treatment for years for my problems.
I have mild Asperger's syndrome....my main symptoms are OCD/Anxiety...with some depression/spasing out.
I have been seeing an MD and CBT.
I am concerned about the progress but moreso was looking to get advice on what medicines I should ask my doctor about.
1) I right now am at a stanRABtill because SSRIs have had problems.
Currently I am on
-Depakote ER 1500 MG
-Gabitiril 8 MG
Prior I was on Luvox up to 200 MGs.
However I had trouble sleeping and sexual problems.
The sleep was REALLY bad.
We tried keeping Luvox but reduced it to 150 MG...still had trouble sleeping.
Tried 100...same thing...and it was too low a dose.
We even tried Luvox ER.
We finally had to cut it out...even with Arabien/Ativan and other sleep aiRAB.
I have been on many other SSRIs like Prozac and Zoloft...and those made me hypomanic (which is partially why I am on Depakote).
I am sensitive to SSRIs.
Celexia was not effective period.
I also tried Cyrabalta...for about a week...and it seemed to make my anxious and wired.
Given my background I am starting to feel worried that I have no options left to help with my OCD since SSRI's have stimulated me before or made it so I can not sleep.
The main thing is I need something to help calm me down, slow me down, get me less rushed, less worked up, and NOT need constant reassurance, as well dwelling less.
Any suggestions?
2) Are there any self-help books out there any of you could recommend?
Years ago I was recommended brain-lock but given my OCD is more complex and more anxiety driven NOT hand-washing I don't know if it's tailored for me.
Thanks.
