I usually encounter with individuals who are suffering OCD and feel that they are at lost and don't know who to turn to next. Even after taking medications for OCD yet most of them are still unsuccessful in getting rid of their symptoms. Most of them felt worse after taking the OCD medications. They even don't know what they are actually feeling, obsessive compulsive disorder or side effects. They are confused and don't know how they feel or what to do about it.
Despite feeling unwell after taking their OCD medication, their doctor still keep on prescribing more and more capsules and tablets for their OCD symptoms. OCD medication comes in 2 basic categories; sedatives and anti-depressants.
It is appalling to know that people are taking this so called 'OCD medication' to treat a condition which does not requires drug and therapy. OCD medication simply does not exist. These medications are basically making the doctor's lives easier but at the same time making the sufferer more anxious, drowsy and weak. Not to mention that OCD medications are costly too.
Don't worry though if you have already taken OCD medication. There is a proven scientific and very effective way to eliminate you OCD symptoms. You can finally come off medication and return to full anxiety free life. This method has been confirmed by the National Institute of Mental Health and it uses a special method which targets the real cause of OCD and anxiety disorder. Another point worth remembering with regards to OCD medication is that many adverse side efffects are being reported by patients who took them. For example, usual side effects for SSRIs include: nausea, constipation, dizziness, headaches, dry mouth, insomnia and sleep disturbances. But the most troubling side effect for SSRIs is of course sexual dusfunction.It is reported that close to 50 percent of patients suffered from decrease sexual desire and orgasmic dysfunction.
Due to the fact that the amygdala does not respond to drug medications, OCD can not be cured by it. The drugs sold as treatment for anxiety and ocd such as sedatives and anti depressants are not curative. They tend to give the sufferer respite from their symptoms.
In conclusion, medications and drugs are not the solution to OCD and anxiety conditions but used sensibly they can sometimes be useful in "taking the edge off" the more severe symptoms.
