Cannot believe it I may have found a break through. I also take Klonopin by the way. But along with the depression and anxiety disorder I have a cavernous menigioma in my spine (which is a fancy word for a growth of blood vessels that has caused a pinched nerve and caused weakness and pain in my lower left leg). But to look at me you would never know it.
Anyway besides having a pdoc I also see a nuerologist. He put me on the medication Trileptal for the pain in my leg. At lower doses it did nothing so I quit taking it. But I saw him this past week for my check up and he insisted I go back on it and raised the dose.
Well it has done little for my leg, but has done WONDERS for my OCD thoughts. Today my mind was obsessing out of control. But I took my dose of Trileptal and it completely stopped.
I looked Trileptal up and it is used as a mood stabilizer, used in panic disorder, major depression. Man I hope it continues it effects. Haven't felt this good in a long time.
It has very little side effects to. They even use it in children. So, it must be pretty safe.
Wish you the best and thanks for the response.
