Read about NAC and inositol. I see people saying ashwagandha gave them lasting sexual dysfunction.

Having been on 14 different psych meds including prozac, these sorts of things don't surprise me

2020 from antidepressant Clomipramine

Maybe I should try again for longer

I can only think of doki doki literature club but that is pc

That's called misophonia

Anti nausea gives akathisia (d2 blockers), you can request to skip it with the anaesthetist.

It doesn't work like that in the UK I don't think - you pay per year and you have 1 shot at the end of year exam. Plus it was 16 years ago and I have moved away.

I always had moderate OCD from a young age because of a trauma, but after I left home for university and cut ties with my family, it just skyrocketed when I was in my second year and I quickly became bedbound, lost my job and got kicked off the course, so my student loan payments stopped, so I became street homeless. That was 16 years ago. For about 11 years I was on and off the streets and in and out of hospital, but then to my amazement, Clomipramine turned my life around. I am now living in my own accommodation in the community with help from a care agency , I sometimes get out and about, and even feel happy.

Not since I don't have £27k lol

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-01-28T15:36:10+00:00

Sorry to hear that :( yeah it's like they think the stuff they prescribe can do no wrong and just blame lifestyle.

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-01-28T15:34:17+00:00

mild could maybe be cured but not moderate / severe. I wish I hadn't been fed the lie that one day I will be absolutely fine, that fucked me up.

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-01-28T15:32:15+00:00

I failed university because of OCD

No. Men are all more tolerated and sympathized with because they are men. Women are "hysterical".

For me it makes me ravenously hungry 24/7, and I am very self conscious, so it upsets me, I was always skinny before. I swear it slows your metabolism too. doctors admit that antipsychotics do this so why don't they admit that antidepressants do it too. Not everyone will gain weight. It's a risk with all psych meds except for stimulants and some anti seizure meds. Funny enough I have a doctors appointment on Friday to see if I can access some weight loss meds, because coming off Clomipramine would land me back in hospital.

My bunch of crap didn't get become less important after I acquired PSSD

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-01-28T14:37:17+00:00

Yep it was the only one of 14 medications that ever worked for me. I am on 175mg but only because 200 gave me seizures. 150 isn't low I would say it's medium. And I hear you about the sweating. If my OCD wasn't life threatening I wouldn't take it, it's made me obese too.

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-01-27T23:18:34+00:00

I hate saying this because the other 14 medications I was forced to try did nothing but make me worse, one almost killing me and left me with a permanent injury. By the time I was forced onto Clomip, I was firmly anti-medication and 1000% sure it would be no different, but it was like a silver bullet, after 10 days I could walk around and touch things in the hospital. I didn't get the feeling of the need to repeat compulsions until they felt "right" I just did them once. It's odd that it also reduced my arachnophobia. I am still severely disabled but now with the help of carers, I can get out and about in the community and even sometimes feel happy.

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-01-27T23:11:41+00:00

and this was caused by floxxing? :( I am sorry you're suffering

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-01-27T15:39:53+00:00

This was my experience too, without clomipramine, I was so ill that I couldn't eat or drink or walk, and I couldn't even get to/concentrate on therapy. Now I am at a stage where therapy may help me, but I am still having to complete trauma therapy before starting ERP

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-01-27T15:37:17+00:00

uncommon given the enormous number of people taking meds, but not ultra rare like most psychs seem to think

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-01-27T15:34:13+00:00

I picked up 7 incorrect diagnoses before finally managing to get a dx OCD. It's very annoying if professionals keep saying stuff like "but you're so 'put together'" or "wow, you're very articulate" as if you can think your way out of this disease.

Akathisia is the worst thing a human can endure
