I like chatting with you too! But I see from Admin you are leaving this board? Gee, I hope not!
I can't find the article about OCD and obsessional thoughts again but will continue looking -- so much for The Googles.
The MAOIs Nardil and Parnate didn't help me with anything except restrict my eating habits ;). I had high hopes for Nardil, but alas. It just made me gain 40 lbs in 3 months.
How does Lyrica help you precisely? I'm thinking about Neurontin, but since I read that you need high doses for anxiety I'm shying away from it, as I fear weight gain again.
DBT is great -- I'm sorry you can't find a group where you live. Maybe there's a group online? Or buy Linehan's instructional book? Although that's not at all the same as attending a group :(.
Hope you stay!
> Hi yourself :). I thought obsessive parts were a part of OCD? Idk. So glad you found something that works with abilify. Anxiety? Sigh. We're well acquainted. Sounds like you've trialled many meds. How were the MAOIs? I've taken dbt and benefitted. Not able to find it where I now live. Seems like you've got a nice, small regime. Right now I take lexapro, lamictal, and a smallish amount of lyrica.
