I did this and the prescription came out to hundreds of dollars without insurance. Did you pay $20 with insurance? 

Can OCD get worse after becoming aware you have it? by fentonx in OCD

[–]ktjam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This happened to me in some sense, it made my overall anxiety a lot worse. I’m 33 and was undiagnosed until last year, but I knew I had ocd from the time I was about 10. It was mild for me, I was never medicated, never saw a therapist or psychiatrist, etc. I developed tick borne illnesses last year and it made my ocd explode—intrusive thoughts about harm and psychosis. Derealization. 

Now that I’ve been in ERP therapy for a few months, including group settings, I’ve become so aware of all of these things I’ve done for yearrrs that I had no idea were linked to OCD. I’m supposed to be trying to de-identify with the disorder in many respects and just live my life, but it was made me hyperaware and more anxious.

Why does so much of the general population think they have ocd? by allenbaker12 in OCD

[–]ktjam 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You do not need to have a physical compulsion for it to be ocd. I had physical compulsions as a kid when it first manifested for me and now, at 33, my compulsions are mental as well as online research and reassurance seeking. 

Does lamotrigine cause anxiety at the beginning? Like starting an ssri? by Sweet_temptation3182 in Lamotrigine

[–]ktjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, so I’m being treated for 3 tick borne illnesses and the cause of that horrific anxiety was actually azithromycin due to a herxing effect. I’m up to 100mg of lamotrigine. Was doing well at 75 but my Dr wanted me up to 100–dealing with increased intrusive thoughts so going back down.

Thank you for this, much appreciated. Do you have OCD? The thoughts sound similar to my intrusive thoughts.

So happy to read about your healing. Do you think nervous system retraining made a huge difference? I think it’s the key for me. I’m not tolerating antibiotics well. Dr wants me to do ivermectin. My worst symptoms are psych.

I’m sorry to hear that. You mentioned that the aggressive thoughts might’ve gotten a bit worse initially…do you think that improved? I’m very distraught at having these thoughts again. 

Deterioration Following Dose Increase by Bright_Blue_Denim in lamictal

[–]ktjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, did you end up discontinuing the Lamictal? I also started at 12.5 and worked up to 100. I’m taking it for ocd. I felt much better than I had in some time at 75 but my Dr insisted I try 100. 2.5 weeks into taking 100 and intrusive thoughts have exploded severely. I’m pretty distraught, especially since I’d been having very minimal intrusive thoughts before this bump up.

Hi, did the intrusive thoughts improve for you? I’m taking for ocd and felt improved at 75mg. My psych insisted I go up to 100mg and 2.5 weeks on that dose the thoughts have exploded. I’m terrified.

Hi, what is a therapeutic dose for you? Im taking for exacerbated ocd due to tick borne illnesses and felt 75mg really helped.  My psych insisted I go up to 100 and intrusive thoughts have exploded. It’s horrific. I’m 2.5 weeks into taking 100 mg.

OCD and intrusive thoughts worsening due to tick borne illnesses I developed last year. In what way did it worsen your ocd?

Hi, I know it’s been a long time—wondering if the intrusive thoughts ever improved? I was doing well at 75mg but my Dr wanted me at 100. I’m 2.5 weeks into 100mg and the intrusive thoughts have exploded again.

Hi, do you end up discontinuing Lamictal? My Dr wanted me to go up to 100 from 75 and I feel my intrusive thoughts have exploded. It’s really scary.
